As Governor, Rick will:

• Provide efficient, cost-effective capital options for farmers
• Help farmers negotiate better prices for key materials and equipment

Rick Jackson believes work brings dignity, purpose, and independence. Creating dependency is not compassion. Forcing people to work is not a punishment; it is a means to lift people up out of poverty. Government assistance should be a bridge, not a lifestyle.

As Governor, Rick will:

• Tie public assistance to work or job training for able-bodied adults
• End endless dependency programs
• Expand job training and vocational pathways
• Reward effort, responsibility, and self-reliance

Georgia doesn’t need another politician who knows how to give speeches. It needs a leader who knows how to deliver results. Rick Jackson built businesses by identifying problems, demanding accountability, and getting outcomes. That’s how he’ll run Georgia.

• Enact term limits
• Audit every government program for results and effectiveness
• Eliminate programs that don’t work
• Raise expectations in schools, agencies, and public spending

• Enact the strongest ethics laws in America

Rick has spent his life in healthcare. He knows where the costs are, the waste is, how the system helps families, and also how it hurts them. Too many Georgians are getting less and paying more. That’s going to change.

As Governor, Rick will:

• Raise teacher pay
• Make Georgia a national leader in childhood literacy
• Provide career pathways for EVERY type of student

A $100 check, given anonymously one Christmas morning, changed Rick’s life when he was in a children’s home. He knows firsthand that a little extra money can change everything for a child’s future.

As Governor, Rick will:

• Push Georgia to match the $1,000 Trump Accounts contribution for every child in Georgia to help support their education
• Create educational support for children in poverty

Rick Jackson is clear and unapologetic. Children deserve protection — not political experiments. And he believes it’s about time foster kids went from the back of the line towards the front. He’s fought to give foster kids a better chance to succeed, all at no extra cost to taxpayers.
