GA-GOV: Georgia lieutenant governor (R) launches bid to succeed Kemp

[RandySF]

Georgia Lt. Gov. Burt Jones (R) launched his much-anticipated campaign for governor Tuesday, making him the second major Republican to make a run for term-limited Gov. Brian Kemp’s (R) job.

“Lt. Gov. Burt Jones has brought real conservative leadership that has protected our freedoms, our values and our families, and Burt Jones has worked closely with President Trump, helping Georgia make America great again,” says a narrator in the more than two-minute ad Jones posted to announce his bid.

Jones said in the ad that his campaign priorities would be eliminating the state income tax, ending the fentanyl crisis and making sure transgender women aren’t allowed to play in women’s sports leagues.

“And if anyone doesn’t like that, they can move to California,” Jones says in the ad.

1. Democrats ought to be able to swat away the demagoguing of the trans issue...

...simply by pointing out there's no record of ANY transgender athlete in Georgia, but there are thousands of people who are going to be thrown off Medicaid by Republican policies.
