Georgia Republican Burt Jones has officially entered the 2026 governor’s race. He highlighted his ties to Donald Trump and pledged to eliminate the state income tax in a campaign video released Tuesday.

Jones says he will eliminate state income tax and end fentanyl overdoses in Georgia. Democrats accuse his failed leadership for other issues.
