One of Georgia’s most trusted leaders, Burt Jones is leading the fight to make Georgia the best place to live, work and raise a family.

Burt has kept his promise to put money back in the pockets of Georgia’s families and businesses. Each year, as Lt. Governor, he has backed legislation to cut the state income tax and has worked to put billions of dollars back into our state economy each year. This past year, he led the way to return part of our state budget surplus to Georgia’s households, cut our income tax rate, and provide new tax relief for families with children—all while balancing our state budget.

As a father and lifelong advocate for fairness, Lt. Governor Burt Jones believes protecting girls’ sports is about common sense, safety, and equal opportunity. That’s why Burt prioritized passing the Riley Gaines Act to protect fairness in women’s sports, which:

An open border and lax law enforcement during the Biden years exploded the fentanyl crisis in America. Here in Georgia, like many places, fentanyl overdoses have grown to be one of the leading causes of death. Burt has taken action to address this crisis. In 2024, he backed Austin’s Law, which gave Georgia’s prosecutors a key tool to address overdose deaths. He followed up in 2025 by increasing the mandatory sentences for fentanyl traffickers and tightening our criminal law to make sure those sentences stick.

Burt believes every Georgia parent has the right to provide for their child’s unique educational needs and get them to an environment where they can succeed. That’s why, as Lt. Governor, he fought for and won the most important school choice victory in Georgia’s history, passing SB 233, which created the Georgia Promise Scholarship in 2024. He has also backed legislation to make sure vital school options are available to foster parents and military families. School choice empowers parents and makes sure every child has a chance at a high-quality education, regardless of their ZIP code.

Burt has taken a strong stance to support Georgia law enforcement in protecting the public. As Lt. Governor, he led the way to enact mandatory minimum sentences for gang offenders, enhance the safety of our schools, and crack down on sanctuary cities and rogue prosecutors who won’t uphold the law.

Burt has worked to ensure that Georgia’s workforce is the best in the nation. He has cut red tape that made it harder to get and keep a professional license, backed significant investments in our state technical college system, and promoted quality job opportunities that do not require a four-year degree. Burt has also worked to make sure that workers with disabilities have the opportunity to thrive in the workforce.

Burt Jones has the backs of rural Georgians. From expanding access to healthcare, to working to preserve farmland, to ensuring that the state mounted a strong response to Hurricane Helene, Burt has worked every day as Lt. Governor to help rural Georgia thrive.
