Rick Jackson, a billionaire medical-staffing CEO running for the Republican gubernatorial nomination in Georgia, has blanketed the state's broadcast, streaming, and social media platforms with inflammatory campaign advertisements, including one pledging that undocumented immigrants who commit violent crimes will end up "deported or departed." The ads, which also target gender-affirming care and what Jackson calls "reverse discrimination," mark an aggressive late entry into the race after he announced in February a plan to spend $30 million on his campaign. His spending has upended the contest, which also features Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones, the previous frontrunner, ahead of early voting beginning in roughly two weeks and a primary election on 19 May.
