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.As Governor, Rick will:Enact term limits for all politiciansAudit every government program for results and effectivenessEliminate programs that don’t workRaise expectations in schools, agencies, and public spendingMake clear what success looks like — and enforce itStop Woke Ideology and Ban Reverse DiscriminationSchools exist to educate — not indoctrinate.Rick Jackson will restore common sense and parental authority in Georgia classrooms.As Governor, Rick will:Prohibit DEI programs in state government, public universities, and classroomsEnsure taxpayer dollars never fund political activismProtect ChildrenRick Jackson is clear and unapologetic.

That’s why he’s made supporting foster children a major cause of his life – and will continue to do so as governor.Rick Jackson:Led the charge to pass the Fostering Success ActThe law allows foster youth to attend public colleges and universities tuition-free and no additional cost to taxpayersBelieves kids should not be punished for circumstances beyond their control— Rick Jackson's campaign website (February 7, 2026)Note: This text is quoted verbatim from the original source.
