Abrams voting rights group has banked $19.5 million heading into 2022 election year

[TexasTowelie]

The voting rights group Stacey Abrams founded after losing the 2018 gubernatorial election to Brian Kemp reported this week that it ended 2021 with $19.5 million in the bank as she prepares to seek a rematch with the governor.

The Fair Fight PAC could continue using its money to support Democratic Party efforts and promote voting issues. But it also could get more directly involved in supporting Abrams in her run for governor.

Under a law that Kemp signed last year, if Abrams, as expected, wins the Democratic gubernatorial nomination, Fair Fight’s PAC could legally funnel money to her bid to oust the incumbent.

One of Kemp’s opponents in the GOP primary, former U.S. Sen. David Perdue, has filed a lawsuit arguing the “leadership committees” that the law creates for select candidates gives the Republican governor an unfair advantage. But if Abrams wins the nomination, she will also be able to create such a committee, which can take unlimited funds from donors, including political action committees such as Fair Fight.
