Last updatedAug 12, 2026
Rick Jackson is now the Republican nominee for Georgia governor after defeating Burt Jones in the runoff, and he will face Democrat Keisha Lance Bottoms in the general election. The race is being described as close, with recent polls showing mixed results and little clear separation between the candidates. Jackson has also raised about $13 million for the general election campaign since mid-June, including a $10 million contribution from the Republican Governors Association. His campaign has drawn scrutiny over a recording from a campaign event tied to abortion comments.
