FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE WEDNESDAY, MAY 25, 2022 BURT JONES DECLARES VICTORY IN REPUBLICAN PRIMARY RACE FOR GEORGIA LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR JACKSON, Ga. – Today, State Senator and Conservative businessman Burt Jones is declaring victory without a runoff in his Republican Primary election for Lieutenant Governor of Georgia with over 99.37 percent of results reported. Burt won 153 of 159 counties and received over 210,000 more votes than his next closest competitor. Burt appreciates the spirited primary debate from his opponents–and will now work to unify the party ahead of the general election in November against a Democrat opponent yet to be determined. Following his win, Burt issued the following statement: Burt Jones said, “What a great and hard-fought win! Jan and I are so grateful to the people of Georgia for their vote of confidence, and I am truly honored to be the Republican nominee for Lieutenant Governor. This was a spirited campaign–but we worked hard every day to share our positive vision, and it clearly resonated with voters across the state. While we narrowly avoided a runoff, we won 153 of 159 counties and received over 210,000 more votes than our next closest competitor. Now is the time to unite as a party and stand together against whichever Democrat candidate emerges–and I look forward to working together with my primary opponents to do just that. As we shift toward the general election, our message will remain the same: Working together, we’re going to eliminate our state income tax and put money back into the pockets of hardworking Georgians, improve our K-12 education system by empowering parents and teachers, stand with our law enforcement to reduce crime and protect Georgia families, and strengthen the integrity and transparency of our elections. And let me be clear: No matter which Democrat candidate emerges from their intraparty fight, he will have to answer for the skyrocketing inflation, record-high gas prices, surging crime and supply chain issues that Georgians are facing every day due to the failed policies of their party. In the meantime, our campaign will be focused on offering real solutions to these issues and more as we work to improve the lives of every family in our state. Again, thank you for helping us achieve this big win–and rest assured, the best is yet to come as we work toward a big win in November! God Bless!” To learn more about Burt's vision for Georgia – and to stay updated, sign up to volunteer, or get involved – visit www.BurtJonesForGA.com and follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. ### Media Contact: [email protected] www.BurtJonesForGA.com ‌ ‌ ‌ PAID FOR BY BURT JONES FOR GEORGIA, INC.
