Just two days until Election Day,
the race for governor is in the final stretch.
Tonight, Republican nominee Rick Jackson is closing out
his campaign with a final rally in Forsyth County.
He launches a tour around the state tomorrow.
Fox 5's Annie Mapp is live and coming with the very latest.
Annie, what is the energy like out there tonight?
You can make the difference.
Christopher, good evening.
Currently, we are hearing from the head of the University System
of Georgia, Dr. Sonny Perdue.
He is speaking right now, showing his support for Rick Jackson. This
rally, for the most part, has been full of energy tonight.
And this is the final campaign rally for
Republican gubernatorial candidate Rick Jackson,
as he makes his last push to win over Georgia
voters just two days before election day.
This rally has also brought out other Republican
Republicans, lawmakers, and candidates all looking
to rally support ahead of Tuesday's election.
Of course, Jackson is a billionaire health
care executive and political newcomer
who's promising to cut Georgia's state income tax in half
and freeze property taxes.
He's running against Democrat Keisha Lance Bottoms,
the former Atlanta mayor,
who's focused on affordability, health care, and housing
to offer voters different approaches
to the state's economy and cost of living
Living as they compete to succeed term-limited Governor Brian
Brian Kemp, we did speak to a few people
in attendance just a little while ago.
Take a listen to what one of them said.
I'm hoping everybody comes out to support the Republican candidates
and doesn't stay home
and think that, you know,
we're not going to be able to win this election.
So this is an important one, especially for governor.
And I'm really hoping that we can turn out this win.
Yes. And we expect to hear from Rick Jackson any moment now.
We have heard from several other
Republican lawmakers and candidates, as we just mentioned.
You're just seeing right now the
director of Jackson Health Care coming up to the stage.
We anticipate it could be just a few more
minutes until Rick Jackson takes the podium.
Of course, we'll be here to keep you all updated.
Chris, back to you. The frenzy final few days. Thank you, Ann.
