Georgia Republican Attorney General Chris Carr sued Lt. Gov. Burt Jones on Thursday for taking advantage of a 2021 Georgia law allowing him to raise unlimited cash for his 2026 gubernatorial campaign while Carr is disadvantaged in the same race.

The lawsuit, filed in Atlanta federal court, alleges Jones is using his leadership committee to fundraise for his campaign in the primary election. When Jones launched his campaign last month, the leadership committee started with more than $14 million in available funds. The lawsuit lists $170,000 that Jones received from lobbyists, companies, and a hospital executive in February and March, months before his campaign announcement.
