Overview
- A group called Georgians for Integrity has poured about $5 million into television ads, mailers and texts since Thanksgiving attacking Jones.
- The spots accuse him of self-dealing tied to a data-center project; Jones calls them fabricated, has threatened stations with lawsuits, and the ads remain on air.
- Incorporated Nov. 24 in Delaware as a social-welfare entity, the group lists a mailbox in Atlanta, a Park City media buyer and a Columbus lawyer, but no donors.
- Georgia Republicans say the spending requires registration and donor disclosure under state law even though the ads avoid election language and instead urge viewers to call Jones.
- Attorney General Chris Carr and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger deny involvement as the early blitz shapes the 2026 GOP governor’s race that includes a Trump-endorsed Jones.
