He also highlights how regulatory burdens often create backlogs, slow licensing processes, and make it harder for individuals and businesses to thrive. As a lifelong businessman, Jones brings firsthand experience in dealing with government inefficiencies and is leading the charge to make Georgia a national model for streamlined governance. Tune in to hear how cutting through red tape will promote economic growth, create more opportunities, and put power back in the hands of the people.
