Voting rights group founded by Stacey Abrams reports raising $14.6M

WJCL-TV

ATLANTA (AP) — The political action committee for a voting rights group founded by Democrat Stacey Abrams on Wednesday reported raising more than $14.6 million in the last half of 2019.

A big chunk of Fair Fight’s haul came as a single $5 million donation from Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg in December, according to a report filed with the Georgia state ethics commission.

The group reported having $11.1 million in cash on hand.

Abrams founded Fair Fight after narrowly losing the race for Georgia governor to Republican Brian Kemp in 2018. The voting rights group quickly filed a federal lawsuit, which is ongoing, challenging the way Georgia’s elections are run. Fair Fight has also launched voter protection operations in several battleground states ahead of elections in November.
