Burt Jones concedes gubernatorial runoff

Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones stepped to the podium at his campaign watch party late Tuesday evening to formally concede the Republican gubernatorial primary runoff to healthcare billionaire Rick Jackson. The address followed an official projection by the Associated Press showing Jackson securing a 53% to 47% victory, successfully blunting Jones’ institutional firewall. Escorted by his family and senior legislative staff, Jones struck a proud, heavily reflective tone, thanking his supporters for fueling a highly competitive, multi-million-dollar statewide campaign.
