for president in 2015, is running for lieutenant governor on a platform of election integrity, economic growth, education reform, and support for the police. Jones, who received Trump's endorsement in September, laid out his plan in an interview with Fox News.
"We had a litany of problems, but nobody was willing to investigate them," Jones told Fox News."The majority of the legislators and officeholders around the state didn’t want to investigate anything." He claimed that drop boxes were a"huge factor" in 2020 election concerns. He said"there was a chain-of-custody issue where drop boxes would go missing for days at a time.
Jones and three other state Senate Republicans signed a petition calling on the Georgia General Assembly to award Georgia's 16 electors to Trump, who lost the state to Biden by 0.23% of the vote, according to the official results. In Jan. 2021, Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan stripped Jones of his chairmanship and membership of the state Senate Insurance and Labor Committee.
