Rick Jackson

Rick Jackson is a Republican candidate running for Governor of Georgia. He gained recent attention due to a surge of anti-immigration campaign ads broadcast across streaming services and social media platforms in Georgia ahead of the Republican primary. These ads feature strong rhetoric against unauthorized immigrants, promising deportation for those who commit violent crimes and stating that immigrants do not have the right to force their culture on the country. His emergence in the race has disrupted what was perceived as an inevitable nomination for Burt Jones, the Lieutenant Governor. Jackson's campaign and controversial ads have made him a significant figure in the Georgia gubernatorial primary, highlighting the issue of immigration and challenging the established frontrunner.
