The Georgia Chamber of Commerce’s Free Enterprise Fund announced today its endorsement of Rick Jackson for the next Governor of Georgia, citing his extensive business experience, understanding of Georgia’s economy, and commitment to maintaining the state’s strong economic momentum. 

Jackson has firsthand knowledge of the challenges facing businesses and the economic factors that affect hard-working Georgians. His commitment to continuing Governor Brian Kemp’s economic security and prosperity agenda, and to supporting rural economic development and quality job creation, is evident.

A longtime member of the Georgia Chamber, he has built trusted, deep relationships across the state’s business community and shown a consistent commitment to policies that strengthen Georgia’s competitiveness.

Chris Clark, President & CEO, Georgia Chamber, said:

“Rick Jackson brings a deep appreciation for the role Georgia’s business community plays in creating opportunity across our state. He has not only been a steady voice for free enterprise and tort reform, but has also shown a personal commitment to Georgia’s most vulnerable through his work with foster children and families. Through his leadership with Go Beyond Profit, Rick has helped elevate the idea that strong companies should also be strong corporate citizens. We are confident he will provide the steady servant leadership needed to keep Georgia moving forward.”

Rick Jackson, Candidate for Georgia Governor, said:

"A business is a solution to a problem, and that's how I'll approach governing our state: problem- solving in ways that improve the lives of Georgians. I will address the affordability crisis by taking on its root causes and actually driving results rather than playing politics with bumper sticker slogans. I'm a longtime member of the Georgia Chamber, and I believe it shares my mission of expanding opportunity and prosperity for everyone who lives here. I'm honored to have the support of the Georgia Chamber and the thousands of businesses it represents. Together over the next four years, we'll attract high-paying jobs, build a world-class workforce, and keep Georgia the No. 1 state in the nation for business."
