Rick Jackson Pledges Tax Cuts and Unity | Savannah News

Rick Jackson, Georgia’s Republican gubernatorial frontrunner, electrified his first post-primary rally in Cleveland with a fiery call for GOP unity and bold promises to slash income taxes in half—or quit the race. He vowed to make life more affordable for families by cutting taxes, boosting small businesses, and expanding rural healthcare, framing affordability as a statewide emergency. But the tone shifted when he turned to his Democratic rival, Keisha Lance Bottoms, drawing sharp audience backlash. Jackson then delivered a raw, emotional speech about his own struggles, vowing never to abandon his supporters. Meanwhile, Bottoms’ campaign launched a new ad tying Jackson to Donald Trump, citing his past comments comparing himself to Trump and calling for “President Trump’s favorite governor.” Jackson avoided mentioning Trump or the ad during his rally, as both campaigns ramp up for a heated Georgia showdown.
