What first took me to the Gold Dome was testifying for foster kids. When I finished, a state senator told me he’d been down there for 17 years and had never once heard the words “foster care.” That hit me hard. Because it proved what many of us already know — if you don’t have money, power, or a lobbyist, your voice doesn’t get heard. That’s when I made a commitment: I would fight for the people who don’t have access, who don’t have a checkbook big enough to buy influence. I’m running for governor to take that fight statewide and for all of you.

Bubba McDonald, the first to endorse President Trump in 2016 and the first statewide elected official to endorse me in 2026. Thank you, Bubba!

Thanks to the Barrow County community leaders who joined us for our second stop of the day at Smokin Po Boys BBQ! I appreciated hearing from you on local issues and how a governor can best serve citizens across our great state, and no offense to the others but I'll strive to be the best governor you’ve partnered with yet.

THANK YOU, Barrow County! A standing room only crowd joined us early this morning to hear why I’m running and ask questions. It’s not about me. It’s about putting Georgians first. rickjackson.com

Grateful for Camden County Sheriff Kevin Chaney’s support! When I’m governor, we will back our men and women in law enforcement 100%.

Here's another example of the lies Burt Jones and his buddies are making up. There's a mailer going around that claims I wrote an op-ed saying I oppose ending Georgia's income tax. It's a complete lie. I didn't write the op-ed. A Democrat state Senator with the last name Jackson did. Look at the sourcing and search to find it yourself - AJC 3/3/2026 Kim Jackson. They made up a lie and mailed it to voters because they think you're stupid. Burt Jones and his minions are making up lies and defaming me because they know their days of self-dealing are ending. They see our crowds, momentum, and lead in the polls. So they're lashing out. As I've said before, I'll do whatever it takes to defend my name if the lies continue. And when I'm governor, you better believe I'm going to break up the cartel that's left too many Georgians without a voice.

Is Burt Jones for you? Or is he really about what benefits him? You decide.

Why Burt Jones is attacking me.

Signs big and small are going up across the entire state - this one’s in Wilcox County! Thanks to Rex Bullock for joining the team.

Thank you, @FaithandFreedom, for welcoming me this morning for a conversation on the issues! My promise to all of Georgia is this: I’ll never waiver in defense of our values. We’ll enforce the law, protect our kids, and make sure the religion of woke ideology isn’t taught in our classrooms.  rickjackson.com

I know hunger. I know dodging the rent collector. And I know that high prices hit working people the hardest. I know what it’s like. I’ve got this.

I couldn’t afford to go to college despite working two jobs. When I applied to work at a personnel search company, they wouldn’t hire me because I didn’t have a degree. The job paid $1,100 per month with a 33-50% commission. I offered to work for no money per month except 33% commission and they took a chance on me. A year later, I bought that company.

Full house tonight with the Cherokee County Republican Women -- thanks for welcoming me! We're earning votes and building even more momentum by the day. I'd love to have you on the team. rickjackson.com

Grateful for Georgia’s first responders and praying for everyone’s safety.

Our two senators are letting Georgians suffer because they have a problem with deporting criminals who never should’ve been here. It’s wrong and un-American. Keisha Lance Bottoms agrees with Ossoff and Warnock. I don’t. It’s a clear contrast.

Keisha Lance Bottoms, or any of the other other Democrats, will end Georgia’s cooperation with ICE, let criminal illegals stay here, and make our state more dangerous. I’m going to work with President Trump and ICE to make Georgia #1 for criminal deportations.

Camden County is ready to WIN BIG for Georgia!

“Rick is making a clear case for results-driven leadership, stronger accountability, and a willingness to challenge a political culture that settles too often for delay.” Thanks for your endorsement, @RepSainz!

Another huge crowd for one of our meet & greets, today in St. Marys! THANK YOU to everyone who joined us. Hearing directly from Georgians – and delivering for you – is what this is all about. Join us: rickjackson.com
