Georgians for Integrity
Georgians for Integrity is an election-related advocacy group. As of February 2026, it had spent over $13.5 million on television advertisements, mailers, texts, and digital content attacking Georgia Lt. Gov. Burt Jones (R) during the 2026 Republican gubernatorial primary election in Georgia. Georgians for Integrity had disclosed no donors and provided almost no information about its own operations or leadership as of February 2026. The Georgia Republican Party filed a formal ethics complaint against the group in December 2025, alleging that it functioned as an independent committee without registering or reporting as required under state law. The controversy generated by the group has prompted legislative action to strengthen enforcement against out-of-state political spending. 1 2 3 4

Background
Georgians for Integrity is an election-related advocacy group . Georgians for Integrity appeared in late November 2025, just weeks before launching its advertising campaign. The group was incorporated in Delaware on November 24, 2025 as a 501(c)(4) nonprofit social welfare organization, a structure that permits anonymous donor funding for election-related advocacy. Public records show no prior activity under the name, and the entity has no visible history of advocacy, research, or grassroots organizing. As of 2026, the group maintained a mailing address at an office supply store in East Atlanta and had contracted with a media buyer in Utah to place its advertisements. At the time, its website contained only general rhetoric about the need for “honest leaders” in Georgia and links to ads attacking Georgia Lt. Gov. Burt Jones (R), but offered no details on staff, board members, or specific programs. 6 7
The group’s sudden emergence and rapid expenditure of millions of dollars have drawn widespread attention in coverage of the competitive Republican primary to succeed term-limited Governor Brian Kemp (R). 2
Activities
The organization’s sole documented activity as of 2026 had been a sustained negative advertising campaign directed at Lt. Gov. Burt Jones (R) ahead of the 2026 Republican gubernatorial primary in Georgia. The ads alleged that Jones pushed legislation benefiting a data center and hospital project in which his family business could profit, and that he has otherwise used his office for self-enrichment. Jones and his campaign have rejected the claims as “fabricated trash” and have threatened legal action against stations continuing to air the spots. As of early February 2026, the group had spent at least $13.5 million on the effort, making it one of the largest independent-expenditure campaigns in recent Georgia history. 1 2 3
No grantors, individual contributors, or affiliated foundations had been identified as of February 2026. The complete absence of donor transparency has led critics to describe the effort as an example of “dark money” spending. The group’s expenditures are funded through an unknown source or sources funneled through the Delaware entity. 2
In December 2025, the Georgia Republican Party filed a complaint with the State Ethics Commission, accusing Georgians for Integrity of operating as an unregistered independent committee and violating state campaign-finance disclosure requirements. 3
The controversy surrounding the group contributed to a bipartisan push in the Georgia Senate for stronger tools to police out-of-state political spending. In February 2026, the state Senate passed legislation authorizing the Ethics Commission to seek court subpoenas against non-resident individuals and entities suspected of breaking Georgia campaign-finance rules. 4
