Georgia ethics panel goes after Stacey Abrams' campaign finances following appointment of Kemp donor

Just three months before Democratic nominee Stacey Abrams is set to face off against Republican incumbent Gov. Brian Kemp again, the state’s ethics commission has decided to move forward with its case against two Abrams-backed nonprofits for allegedly violating campaign finance laws, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC) reports.

The groups targeted are The New Georgia Project and the New Georgia Project Action Fund, which are being accused by the state’s Government Transparency and Campaign Finance Commission of raising and spending unreported millions in 2018 for Abrams’ gubernatorial bid.

The Republican-dominant panel alleges that each group raised $4.2 million and spent $3 million on Abrams’ campaign, The Root reports, but did not publicly disclose the amounts or register as independent political committees.
