Campaign websiteKennedy's campaign website stated the following:Keep Georgia GrowingGeorgia is the top state for business and the best place to live, work, and raise a family, thanks to the character and innovation of our people, and generations of conservative leaders who have guided our state wisely through the good times and the bad. As your next Lt. Governor, I will work hard every day to ensure Georgia keeps moving forward and greater opportunity reaches all corners of our state. That starts with continuing our historic run of job creation and investment—especially in rural Georgia. Governor Kemp and the General Assembly have made incredible strides in bringing prosperity and the next generation of careers to small towns like the one I grew up in, and I’m going to be laser-focused as your Lt. Governor on taking that momentum to the next level. From fintech, advanced manufacturing, and tourism, to healthcare delivery, big box retailers, and some of the world’s greatest brands, Georgia will stay open for business and remain the economic envy of the nation. Our state’s number one industry is agriculture, and I will always fight for Georgia’s farm families as Lt. Governor. Thousands of crops and products are grown or produced using our food and fiber, and our leaders must continue to help our farmers find new markets and support them when crisis strikes. We should always be looking for ways our state can make it easier to start, operate, and grow a family farm—because no one can do it better than hardworking Georgians. Keep Georgia LearningAs a state senator, I am proud to have sponsored and supported legislation that puts our students first and ensures parents have a voice in their child’s education. Just this past session, we were able to pass and receive Governor Kemp’s signature on legislation that addresses chronic absenteeism in our schools and gives every Georgia student the resources they need to succeed.There’s no doubt we have come a long way in moving school choice forward in Georgia, and I look forward to continuing that success as Lt. Governor. As state leaders, we have no greater responsibility than the future of our children. There’s no question that starts in our classrooms—which must be focused on educating students to find a rewarding career, not indoctrinating them with radical political ideologies. I will always ensure our teachers are able to teach, our kids are able to learn, and our parents are able to support them both. Keep Georgia SafeUnder Governor Kemp’s leadership, Georgia has taken huge strides in protecting our communities, holding criminals accountable, and making our streets safer. Continuing that progress starts with supporting our men and women in law enforcement—not catering to far-left partisans who want to demonize those who wear the uniform. Let me be clear, as your Lt. Governor, Georgia will always back the blue!We cannot grow complacent in our fight to dismantle criminal street gangs across our state, and we must also continue to ensure Georgia remains competitive in recruiting and retaining the best law enforcement officers.State government has no higher duty than to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our citizens. As your Lt. Governor, you can rest assured I will take that responsibility seriously by strengthening our laws and allocating your tax dollars wisely to keep you and your family safe.— John Kennedy's campaign website (February 19, 2026)Note: This text is quoted verbatim from the original source.
