Gov. Burt Jones is criticizing rival Rick Jackson\u2019s campaign spending as the billionaire breaks state records in the final stretch of a tight runoff for the Republican gubernatorial nomination.\n    <\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=2857\">What to watch in Tuesday\u2019s primaries in Georgia, Alabama, Oklahoma and Washington, DC<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cRick Jackson is everywhere \u2013 spending over $100 million trying to buy our vote,\u201d says a new ad from Jones\u2019 campaign, featuring AI-generated imagery of voters recoiling at Jackson\u2019s omnipresent image. \u201cBut Georgia is not for sale.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Jackson, a former healthcare executive, has leveraged his personal fortune to elbow into the race, dropping tens of millions of dollars on ads and mailers to place himself in front of voters. It was enough to garner him roughly a third of the vote in the primary in May, forcing Tuesday\u2019s runoff with Jones to decide who will face Keisha Lance Bottoms, the Democratic former mayor of Atlanta, in November.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            But whether Jackson can convince Georgia\u2019s Republican voters to back him against Jones, President Donald Trump\u2019s chosen candidate in the race, remains unclear \u2014 with Tuesday\u2019s election offering the latest test of whether multimillionaire and billionaire political outsiders can translate their business expertise into ballot box victories at a time when affordability is top of mind for many Americans.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Jackson deflects questions about his wealth with a rags-to-riches story \u2013 growing up in deep poverty, the child of a broken marriage cycling through foster homes, running away and starting a successful business career. And while he\u2019s acknowledged \u201clegitimate concern\u201d about his campaign spending, Jackson argues that \u201cmoney cannot buy this election, I\u2019m gonna have to earn it.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cThe question is, do you want money that\u2019s been buying other people, through special interest groups, and donors, and so forth? Or somebody that\u2019s spending hard-earned money in order to make a difference? Because I can\u2019t be bought,\u201d Jackson told ABC affiliate WJCL.\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        \u2018I\u2019ll spend whatever it takes\u2019\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            Jackson finished just 6 points behind Jones in the first round of the GOP primary last month, beating out well-known Georgia officials like Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and Attorney General Chris Carr \u2014 a remarkable showing for a candidate who only entered the race in February.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cHe\u2019s gone from 0% name recognition to, he got a third of the vote in the primary,\u201d said Charles Bullock, a professor of political science at the University of Georgia.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Entering the weekend, Jackson had given his campaign more than $100 million and ranked as the second-biggest advertiser of the 2026 election cycle, breaking Georgia gubernatorial campaign records while spending $90 million on advertising, according to the tracking firm AdImpact. That\u2019s produced more than 380 unique ads, per AdImpact data, generating more than 450 million impressions.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Georgia gubernatorial candidate Burt Jones speaks during a primary election night watch party on May 19 in Jackson, Georgia.\" class=\"wp-image-2861\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/4a6b2be6adab7f80b3aa4ab609cb240f.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/4a6b2be6adab7f80b3aa4ab609cb240f.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/4a6b2be6adab7f80b3aa4ab609cb240f-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>Georgia gubernatorial candidate Burt Jones speaks during a primary election night watch party on May 19 in Jackson, Georgia.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Mike Stewart\/AP<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            Jones, a multimillionaire whose family found success in the petroleum industry, has also contributed to spiraling totals. He\u2019s loaned his campaign $25 million and has spent more than $35 million on advertising \u2013 ranking him third among individual candidates so far this cycle.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The state official has leaned heavily on Trump\u2019s endorsement, holding a tele-rally with the president this week. \u201cIt\u2019s very important you get out and vote for Burt. He\u2019s been with me from the very beginning,\u201d Trump said on the call.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Here, too, Jackson has tried to leverage his money, donating $1 million to the pro-Trump super PAC MAGA Inc. a little over a month before he launched his governor campaign \u2014 even though the president had already endorsed Jones last year.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Bullock cautions that it \u201chasn\u2019t worked out well\u201d for many wealthy, self-funding candidates in Georgia, recalling former Sen. Kelly Loeffler\u2019s high-profile runoff loss in 2021 a year after her appointment to the seat. He also pointed to the example of Guy Millner, a multimillionaire businessman who ran twice for governor and once for US senator as a Republican in the 1990s, losing all three races.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cHistory has not been that you can make that transition in Georgia \u2013 maybe the explanation for Jackson is he\u2019s willing to spend even more than they were,\u201d Bullock said.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            In a statement to CNN, Jackson\u2019s campaign said that \u201cwhen you grow up the way Rick did, you never forget those who are still fighting. Rick will fight for all 11 million Georgians and make Georgia the most affordable state in the nation.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            And it dismissed the new ad from Jones\u2019 campaign targeting Jackson\u2019s spending: \u201creeks of a campaign that knows it is losing.\u201d\n    <\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=2841\">Trump\u2019s European after-party spoiled by irksome realities<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n            While Jones and Jackson continue to rack up massive spending in the Republican gubernatorial runoff, Bottoms won the Democratic nomination outright in a crowded primary field last month.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The former Atlanta mayor turned Biden administration official has had a free hand to consolidate her support and begin her general election campaign, partnering with Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff, who faces his own competitive reelection this year.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Democrats view the prolonged GOP runoff as a meaningful advantage, leaving whichever potential rival that emerges bruised and drained.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n<em>\u201c<\/em>We\u2019re ready to face whichever out-of-touch Trump lackey emerges from the slugfest of a Republican runoff. Whether it\u2019s Jackson or Jones, both candidates have spent the last four months beating each other up and talking about everything but the kitchen-table issues, while Keisha has relentlessly focused on lowering costs and creating opportunity for Georgians,\u201d said TaNisha Cameron, Bottoms\u2019 communications director.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Supporters hold signs during a primary election night party for Georgia gubernatorial candidate Rick Jackson on May 19 in Atlanta.\" class=\"wp-image-2862\" height=\"513\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/75c8a05a82486d0952e42cf934130d95.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/75c8a05a82486d0952e42cf934130d95.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/75c8a05a82486d0952e42cf934130d95-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>Supporters hold signs during a primary election night party for Georgia gubernatorial candidate Rick Jackson on May 19 in Atlanta.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Brynn Anderson\/AP<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            Jackson\u2019s ability to continue funding his campaign is a wild card, though, and after initially committing $50 million to the election, he\u2019s since revised estimates upward.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cI\u2019ll spend whatever it takes to win this race,\u201d he says in an ad launched last month.\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        A mixed record for self-funded candidates\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            But it\u2019s unclear whether money alone can move the needle, as several expensive self-funded campaigns in recent years have demonstrated.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cSelf-funding a campaign can buy visibility, but it doesn\u2019t necessarily buy votes,\u201d said Hilary Braseth, the executive director of transparency organization Open Secrets. \u201cHistory shows that even massive personal investments don\u2019t guarantee success at the ballot box.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            A few examples played out in the weeks leading up to the Georgia runoff.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            In California, billionaire Tom Steyer, a former hedge fund founder turned Democratic activist, spent more than $200 million on a gubernatorial campaign that failed despite pressing every possible financial advantage \u2013 nonstop TV spots, influencer partnerships, billboards and mobile advertisements.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            It carried echoes of another costly miss: Steyer\u2019s quixotic run for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination as a first-time candidate, costing more than $300 million and failing to produce a single delegate. Steyer\u2019s commitment in that race, however, was overshadowed by that of former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who spent more than $1 billion of his own money on a roughly 100-day campaign.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Down the ballot, progressive Saikat Chakrabarti far outspent rivals in California\u2019s 11th Congressional District, only for the former Stripe engineer to finish in third place in the primary. And back at home in Georgia, US Rep. Buddy Carter lost his Senate bid last month, failing to make the GOP runoff despite investing several million dollars of his own money into the campaign.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            At a time when affordability concerns are paramount, the intensifying efforts of ultrawealthy candidates can also risk alienating the very voters they are spending so lavishly to court.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cOur data shows that voters are increasingly skeptical of ultrawealthy candidates who write their own checks. Of the 65 federal candidates who put more than $1 million of their own money into their races in 2024, only 10 won,\u201d said Braseth.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            But other super-rich candidates like Jackson are hoping for better results. Vivek Ramaswamy, a billionaire biotech entrepreneur and 2024 presidential candidate, is the GOP nominee for governor of Ohio, contributing $25 million to his campaign, while Illinois Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker, heir to a famous family fortune, has similarly seeded his bid for a third term with $25 million.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            And, in an upcoming test later this month, former Rep. David Trone, the founder of Total Wine &amp; More, is challenging incumbent Rep. April McClain Delaney for his old seat in Maryland\u2019s 6th District, with the local titans spending a combined nearly $20 million on advertising in a safe Democratic district.\n    <\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=2829\">G7 leaders \u2014 and the rest of the world \u2014 wait for clarity on US-Iran agreement<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Georgia Lt.
