Rick Jackson clips Brian Kemp praise in new Georgia gubernatorial race ad

Georgia gubernatorial candidate Rick Jackson is showcasing praise from Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA) in a new advertisement as he makes his GOP runoff bid for governor against Lt. Gov. Burt Jones.

Kemp, the Peach State’s popular but term-limited governor, has so far withheld an endorsement in the race for his successor, despite weighing in on the state’s GOP Senate primary by backing Derek Dooley. Kemp’s lack of an endorsement in the gubernatorial race has received more attention after Jackson and Jones became locked in a competitive primary runoff, set for June 16. Adding to the drama in the race is the fact that President Donald Trump, who has had a rocky relationship with Kemp, endorsed Jones.
