Recent reporting and announcements directly related to this race and its candidates.
Rick Jackson remains the Republican nominee for Georgia governor after winning the runoff. A new report on $5 million in labor settlements tied to his companies is adding scrutiny as he faces Keisha Lance Bottoms in a close race. The labor-settlement report could slightly hurt Jackson by adding negative attention, but the effect is limited by the lack of personal wrongdoing allegations. Overall, the race still appears close and uncertain.
