NEW Ad Details Slick Rick Jackson’s Game: $4.5 Million In Political Donations, Nearly $1 Billion in Taxpayer-Funded No-Bid Contracts

Slick Rick Jackson In His Own Words: I’ve Sent Them All A Ton of Cash, Politicians Good and Bad

Jackson Protects the Same Rigged System That Made Him Rich, Opposes Medicaid Expansion to Continue to Profit Off Georgians

ATLANTA — The latest ad from Keisha Lance Bottoms details how Slick Rick Jackson donated $4.5 million to politicians and has made a fortune off nearly $1 billion in taxpayer-funded no-bid contracts. A breaking news report exposed how Slick Rick Jackson quietly extended a multimillion taxpayer-funded contract despite promises he would “unwind” his lucrative work with the state if elected.  

While the Ultimate Insider protects the rigged system that’s made him a fortune, he opposes Medicaid expansion so that he can continue to profit off a broken health care system. A multi-billionaire health care executive, Jackson opposes expanding Medicaid in Georgia, which has left 300,000 Georgians without health care and forced nine rural hospitals to close.

Earlier this week, Jackson was asked about the impact of not expanding Medicaid on Georgians, and said: “I don’t think the consequences are as bad as anyone else thinks.” Meanwhile, Jackson got rich off of health care contracts with the state of Georgia, and is profiting off struggling hospitals.
