Russ Goodman @RussGoodman8

Thank you @BrianKempGA and @MartyKempGA for your endorsement, your friendship and your belief in our campaign. It has been my honor to serve alongside you these past four years and Jan and I couldn't be more grateful to have you on our side in the fight for Georgia's future. Tomorrow is Election Day — let's finish the drill and VOTE! #gapol

JUST IN — Governor Brian Kemp Endorses Trump-backed Burt Jones over billionaire Rick Jackson in Georgia Governor Runoff.

Over the last eight years, we’ve achieved historic wins for hardworking Georgians from all walks of life and made our state the best place to live, work, and raise a family. We’ve passed the largest tax cut in state history, announced the largest economic development projects ever, raised teacher pay by nearly ten thousand dollars, led the entire nation in recovering from a pandemic, cracked down on criminal street gangs, invested historic amounts in school safety and classroom excellence, and made Georgia a national leader in job creation from businesses large and small. That’s a conservative record of success that Marty, the girls, and I are proud of—and it’s one that would not have been possible without our partners in the General Assembly. Whether it was during his service in the state senate or as Lt. Governor, @burtjonesforga has been a strong, trusted ally in those victories for the people of our state. He worked hard alongside me and my administration to return over $9 billion back to taxpayers, raise pay and retirement benefits for state law enforcement, and he never wavered when we took on the special interests to pass meaningful tort reform for the first time in twenty years. Burt knows how to get things done as governor because that’s what he has done as a state senator and as your Lt. Governor. The hardest part about being governor is making decisions that aren’t always popular or easy. I’ve worked alongside Burt for nearly fifteen years and I’m confident that he will always put hardworking Georgians first. This fall, Georgians will have a clear choice to make in their next governor. I believe Burt Jones will make a strong case to the voters for four more years of conservative leadership that ensures our state’s best days are ahead, while Democrats try to run from Keisha Lance Bottoms’ record of complete failure as mayor of Atlanta. Marty, the girls, and I are proud to endorse Burt Jones to be the 84th Governor of the great state of Georgia and ask you to join us in supporting him on Tuesday.

Grateful for my friend and fellow fighter @RussGoodman8, who has been in the trenches with me in our fight to get fentanyl off our streets and out of our communities. #gapol

I’m honored to have Gus and Beth Walters' endorsement. After their son, Austin, was tragically taken from this world due to fentanyl, we helped pass ‘Austin’s Law’ which became the toughest law against fentanyl in Georgia. Their fight is why I fight for Georgians every day

Proud to stand with South Georgians as they recover from these devastating wildfires. Working alongside Governor Kemp and the Trump administration, we've secured tax relief for families and businesses in Clinch, Echols, and Brantley Counties. Learn more here: irs.gov/newsroom/irs-a… #gapol

Happy Easter from the Goodman family! ✝️

Happy National Ag Day, Georgia! 🌾 We're grateful for the farmers who keep our state running and our tables full. Hear from your Senate Republican farmers, and don’t forget to thank a farmer today. #gapol #GASenateGOP

We are deeply grateful to President @realDonaldTrump & USDA @SecRollins continued commitment to supporting American Agriculture. #gapol

If decency and civility were the crops that fed civilization and the crop estimate for such was estimated by scrolling Twitter for signs of “fruit of the spirit” I’m afraid most agronomists would conclude that our society is headed toward a famine.

@BCRobinsonGA Brian I’m just an ole South Georgia farmer but I must admit that it amazes me how one’s loyalties can be so easily bought within the political industrial complex. Forgive me but where I’m from we just run a little deeper than that.

Austin's Law is helping save lives in Georgia. I want to thank the Walters family for their courage to reach out and their dedication to honor Austin’s life. I am proud of Sen. Russ Goodman for sponsoring this priority legislation and thankful to the Georgia Senate for its bipartisan support. This vital legislation protects Georgians by ensuring that criminals who sell poisons like fentanyl are held accountable.

Great morning on our family farm in Butts County with my friend and our outstanding Senate Agriculture Chairman, @RussGoodman8. Agriculture is Georgia’s #1 industry and the backbone of our economy. I’ll always fight for rural Georgia and the men and women who get up before daylight to feed and fuel our state 🇺🇸

From our little family to yours, we wish you all the happiest of Thanksgivings!

@DolezalForGA Agreed

Georgia agriculture is a top driver of our state’s economy and a way of life for countless families. The Senate Study Committee on Agriculture and Consumer Affairs, chaired by Senator Russ Goodman, works to ensure farmers, producers, and consumers have the tools they need to thrive. Senator Lee Anderson serves as Vice Chair, Senator Larry Walker III as Secretary, and members include Senators Max Burns, Drew Echols, Bo Hatchett, Carden Summers, and Sam Watson. This past session, the committee focused on supporting Georgians impacted by Hurricane Helene, championing legislation such as the TREES Act to provide much-needed relief and help farmers and rural communities recover and rebuild. In addition, the committee has worked to strengthen Georgia’s reputation as a national leader in agriculture by addressing issues that matter to both producers and consumers—protecting family farms, expanding markets, and ensuring food safety.  From storm recovery to modernizing laws that keep Georgia agriculture competitive, the Senate Study Committee on Agriculture and Consumer Affairs is leading with solutions that put Georgia’s farm families first. By tackling challenges head-on and embracing opportunities for growth, Senate Republicans are making sure agriculture remains the backbone of our economy and a proud tradition that carries Georgia forward for generations to come.

Today is a big win for Georgia families and farmers! Thank you to @AgCommHarperGA, @GADeptAg, and Chairman @RussGoodman8 for their leadership in securing $531 million in block grant relief for communities impacted by Hurricane Helene. Our number 1 industry continues to be resilient, and Georgia’s farmers have my full support as they rebuild, stronger than before! #gapol agr.georgia.gov/pr/state-georg…

Happy Labor Day! Today we celebrate the hardworking Georgians who provide for their families and keep our state moving forward. Wishing you a safe and restful holiday with family and friends.

My good friend and fellow blueberry farmer Steve Mullis sent me this photo this morning of this beautiful rainbow around Capitol Square. In an area with no shortage of egos, maybe it’s just God’s gentle way of reminding everyone this morning who’s really in charge!🇺🇸🙏

Looking forward to this year’s annual Ag Summit in Perry! We have a great group of speakers lined up and look forward to seeing everyone as we will be highlighting the successes, challenges and opportunities moving forward involving our state’s #1 industry!
