GA-GOV: Republican health care executive becomes surprise late entrant in Georgia's race for governor
It turns out the race to be Georgia’s next governor is not so set after all.
With the primary less than four months away, another prominent candidate has jumped into the contest for the Republican nomination.
Jackson Healthcare founder and CEO Rick Jackson announced his candidacy Tuesday, and his campaign said he planned to spend an “initial” $40 million to introduce him to voters, with ads set to begin airing Wednesday.
“I don’t need this job for money or power. It’s not about me,” he said in his launch video Tuesday.
