The Georgia Hour, episode 74: Tangled Ties & Questionable Spending: GA GOP’s McKoon Under Scrutiny

Jacqueline McKoon, chair of the Butts County Chamber of Commerce, and her husband, GA GOP Chairman Josh McKoon, are raising eyebrows with questionable financial dealings. Residing in Fulton County, Josh faces allegations of GA GOP credit card misuse, including charges at Painted Nest, a Flovilla home decor store in Butts County—home to Lt. Gov. Burt Jones. Questions swirl: Did Jacqueline use a GA GOP card for personal decor purchases? In a typical investigation, such actions might prompt a leave of absence, but no action has been confirmed.
Adding to the controversy, Rosetta Stone Communications, LLC, led by John Garst—Josh’s karaoke partner and a former Dominion Voting Systems lobbyist—received $2.3 million from the GA GOP, despite the party’s reported zero budget. Garst’s inclusion on the “Trump Slate” at last year’s GA GOP convention, later downgraded to guest status, raises further questions about his influence. Josh, now advocating for paper ballots, hosted a high-dollar fundraiser with Burt Jones, followed by an FEA Victory Dinner, amid lingering campaign debts. Ties to Fulton County’s GOP, including treasurer Jeff D. and the Fulton County Trust Fund, deepen the web of connections, fueling calls for transparency and accountability

Jaqueline McKoon is the chair of the Chamber of Commerce of Butts county. And Josh lives in Fulton County. Flovilla is a city in Butts County, the county is the home of Lt Gov Burt Jones. There is a charge to the GA GOP to the Painted Nest, everything you need for home decor. Does Jacqueline have her own GA GOP credit card? Did she pick up her decor for the office? In the real world someone would be put on leave during an investigation.
