Georgia Lt. Gov. Burt Jones is hitting the campaign trail harder than Mike Tyson at his prime, unleashing a seven-figure television advertising campaign on March 10, 2026, featuring an endorsement from President Donald Trump, while also setting his sights on rival Rick Jackson. The ad fired off hit after hit on Jackson over his healthcare company’s recruitment platform being utilized by Planned Parenthood for job listings, along with positions connected to transgender medical treatments.
One of Jones’ ads focuses on Trump’s endorsement and features the president heaping praise on his record in office. In the ad, the president says of Jones, “This man has my complete and total endorsement. It’s not like, ‘Oh, gee, let me think about it.’ Burt Jones has been an incredible leader, but he has just been solid as a rock, and he loves this state so much, and I really want to see him win. He has been really, really good at what he does.”
The ad wraps up by encouraging voters to “join President Trump in supporting Burt Jones for governor, the winning team for Georgia,” before Trump pops back in and says, “You will be very happy, Georgia.” A different advertisement centers around Jackson’s healthcare staffing company and makes references to reports that show LocumTenens.com, a recruiting website owned by Jackson Healthcare, included a listing for a bilingual Planned Parenthood nurse in Minnesota.
According to Breitbart News, the ad says, “Billionaire Rick Jackson loves bragging about being filthy rich, but Jackson never says where his money came from. According to Breitbart News, Jackson profited off helping staff Planned Parenthood, America’s largest abortion provider. Breitbart reported Jackson’s company recruits for Planned Parenthood, who recently bragged, ‘abortions are at an all-time high.’ Next time you see a TV ad by billionaire Rick Jackson, remember all the unborn children who paid for it.”
A third ad puts Jackson on blast for issues connected to transgender medical procedures. The ad says, “Slick Rick Jackson’s a fraud, not the fictional character in his ads. Town Hall exposed Jackson’s company helped staff gender transition procedures for prison inmates. Jackson shares this radical transgender policy with Kamala. Now Breitbart has exposed a sinister twist: Jackson helped staff facilities perform gender change procedures on children.”
The ad also has Jackson proclaiming, “Those who would change a child’s gender, I’ll put them in jail.” The voiceover then finishes by saying, “Then Rick Jackson should turn himself in.” A spokeswoman for Jones’ campaign, Kayla Lott, went on to say, “Trump-endorsed Lt. Governor Burt Jones has spent his career delivering for Georgia. Rick Jackson built a business connecting doctors to facilities performing transgender treatment on minors and prison inmates — and placing staff inside Planned Parenthood. Conservatives aren’t buying what this Never Trumper is selling.”
The rollout for the advertisements took place as a poll was released on March 9 by JMC Analytics and Polling, which shows Jackson is currently leading the pack among those in the GOP gubernatorial primary, boasting 37% among likely Republican voters. Jones is in second with 22% support, while Raffensperger is in third with 11%.

It was conducted March 7-8 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.1 percentage points. Data presented in the results of the poll reveals that President Trump has a strong level of support in the Peach State with 60% of Republican voters saying they have a “very favorable” view of him. A total of 39% of participants said they identify as “Trump/MAGA Republican.”
Jones made an appearance on The Alex Marlow Show on March 9, 2026, where he commented on Jackson’s healthcare operations. “He had a DEI director within his own company, Jackson Healthcare. He was — he provided nursing and doctors for Planned Parenthood organization. He provided nursing and doctors for transgender surgeries,” Jones explained.
