Vernon Jones (pictured) made a name for himself during the 2020 presidential campaign when he, as a Democrat and former state legislator, campaigned for Donald Trump. Now Jones has announced that he has officially changed parties and intends to challenge the incumbent governor in the state’s 2022 Republican gubernatorial primary.
“They’re hoping that he’ll win the Republican primary, but you know what? Then they’re going to cut his head off and then they’re going to hand it to Stacey Abrams in the general election,” Jones said of Kemp. “Look, Georgians, I’m one of you. I’ve got God in my heart, I’ve got farming in my blood, I have military in my family, I have small businesses on my mind, and just in case you didn’t know, I’m a black Republican.”
Rob Chambers, a spokesman for AFA Action, is glad to see that Jones has left the “Democratic reservation.”
“That’s a very good sign,” he submits. “My hope would be that he left all Democratic values at the Georgia Democratic headquarters and has truly embraced a conservative, constitutional platform.”
And Chambers believes Governor Kemp needs to be challenged.
“He did very little during the 2020 election to right all the illegal actions that were done in the state of Georgia through Stacey Abrams and [Brad] Raffensperger,” the AFA spokesman recalls. “There are many things that the governor could have and should have done. Now he has come out and signed into law reform. But hey, that’s Johnny come lately.”

My best to Vernon Jones. I hope he succeeds because Kemp is too easy a mark for Abrams.
LETS hope he also LEFT HIS DEMONRAT ideals, when he left the party.
Examine his past and future statements and beliefs. Just changing parties just seems to me so very convenient. RNC does not need anymore RINOs
I agree. HIS Actions will show whether he’s trust worthy or not.
Georgia Governor Brian Kemp and his Secretary of State gave the state of Georgia to Biden and the Democrat Senators that were running for office, because of the voter fraud that they endorsed, Kemp hated Trump and he sacrificed Trump’s chances of getting reelected. Brian Kemp is a criminal for what he did, by diluting the vote of the honest Georgia citizen, by endorsing the voter fraud.
The very LEAST a Republican governor should do is true the vote in his state. Kemp did not do that in time. Allowing fraud in Georgia to put Silly Putty Biden in the White House and give Dems a Senate majority with the feckless VP’s vote mean Kemp is incompetent at best, a betrayer of the Republic out of dislike for Trump at worst. Too useless to re-elect.
AND that goes Doubly for the state LEGISLATURE, which backed him..
