"We are still going to vote Democrat for the Public Service Commission, [and] most likely Republican for everything else," Nancy Lubeck said.
"We just feel that all those people need to be changed out and need to be led by another party, so maybe they'll do something different to help us."
This morning, Kemp reaffirmed his Jones endorsement, implying he's the best Republican candidate to run against former Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms in November.
