JACKSON, Ga – Today, Democrat Kwanza Hall, the former Congressman and Lieutenant Governor candidate of Georgia, endorsed Republican nominee Burt Jones for Lieutenant Governor. Hall received the most votes of any Democrat candidate in the May primary before being defeated by Charlie Bailey in the June runoff. This endorsement is a huge boost for Burt and shows that his campaign is clearly resonating with Republicans, Independents, and Democrats alike. Kwanza's endorsement also demonstrates that Burt's campaign will receive significant crossover appeal from Democrats and African-American voters who support his plan to lower costs and cut taxes, improve K-12 education, strengthen public safety, and create more opportunities for every Georgia family.

Kwanza Hall said, "I’m proud to endorse Burt Jones to be our state’s next Lieutenant Governor. Burt is the only candidate in the race with a plan to invest in our communities, lower costs, improve our K-12 education system and reduce crime. Burt Jones has a proven track record of delivering results for every person in Georgia—and I hope you’ll join me in voting for him to be our state’s next Lieutenant Governor!"

“I’m honored to have the support of my friend Kwanza Hall in our race for Lieutenant Governor," said Burt Jones. "As a former Congressman and competitor, I appreciate Kwanza’s service to our state and his shared commitment to lift up and improve the lives of every Georgia family. I look forward to continuing to work with leaders like Kwanza and others in a bipartisan way to create more opportunities for hardworking Georgians and continue to make our state the best place to live, work and raise a family.”
