Atlanta, GA, September 16, 2026 —

Rick Jackson, a candidate for Georgia governor, has announced a detailed policy platform focused on addressing the needs of the state’s veterans. The unveiling took place during a press conference held in Marietta, Georgia.

Jackson’s proposed initiative includes several key components designed to support military members and their families. The plan outlines an effort to consolidate existing state services for veterans, aiming for greater efficiency and accessibility. Additionally, Jackson proposed the establishment of a dedicated veteran support hotline, intended to provide a direct point of contact for assistance and resources.

Further elements of the platform address healthcare and employment. Jackson’s plan includes provisions to expand healthcare options available to veterans. It also introduces a new business designation program, which would recognize employers for their support of veterans. The specifics of how this designation would be implemented or what benefits it might entail were not detailed in the summary.

Both Rick Jackson and his opponent, Keisha Lance Bottoms, are actively seeking to connect with and secure the support of Georgia’s veteran population. Both campaigns are presenting their respective platforms and commitments to military members and their families as part of their broader electoral strategies.
