Ga. lieutenant governor candidate Jones hasn't disclosed campaign flights

A Republican candidate for Georgia lieutenant governor acknowledged he has been flying to campaign events on his family’s private plane without yet disclosing any donations or expenses related to the flights in campaign finance filings.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that a campaign spokesperson for state Sen. Burt Jones said the Jackson businessman planned to pay one lump sum after the May 24 primary for all flights taken.

However, state campaign finance laws don’t appear to allow that approach. The law says candidates “must disclose (expenses made) on the campaign contribution disclosure report due for the reporting period in which the flight occurred.”
