Today, Brian Kemp endorsed Burt Jones’ campaign for governor after months of infighting within the Republican primary. In response, Democratic Party of Georgia spokesperson Jake Strickland issued the following statement:
“Now it makes sense why Burt Jones is opposing suspending the gas tax and refusing to give Georgians relief at the pump.
“Make no mistake: Brian Kemp’s endorsement of Burt Jones adds even more chaos to this already-messy GOP primary. No matter who wins this Republican run-off, both Jones and Jackson have let voters see first-hand that they’re only out for themselves – and won’t fight for Georgia. Today’s endorsement makes it crystal clear that the GOP is deeply divided, and will remain fractured well beyond the run-off on Tuesday.”
