Georgia’s Ethics Commission ruled on Dec. 4, 2025 that Lt. Gov. Burt Jones can loan $10 million to his leadership committee for his 2026 gubernatorial bid, adopting a legal opinion that such personal loans are permitted under current state law. The decision rejects Attorney General Chris Carr’s challenge and underscores the advantages of leadership committees, which can raise unlimited funds and coordinate with candidates, ahead of Georgia’s May 2026 primaries.
