Today, Burt Jones, Rick Jackson, and the entire GOP gubernatorial field faced off in the first and only debate of this messy and chaotic Republican primary. In response, DPG spokesperson Jake Strickland released the following statement:
“After months of brutal Republican infighting, Georgians today got a front-row seat to the utter slugfest that has broken out between Burt Jones and Rick Jackson. This debate was everything Republicans feared: an hour-long fight in which Jones and Jackson both accused each other of corruption, self-enrichment, and abuse of taxpayer money. To anyone watching, it was crystal clear that both Jackson and Jones are more interested in fighting each other and pledging allegiance to Donald Trump than doing anything to make life more affordable for hardworking Georgians. No matter who wins the GOP nomination, this debate will haunt Republicans in the general election.”
