Stacey Abrams will be grilled on Friday about her role with a Georgia voter advocacy group that has been slapped for breaking the state’s campaign rules.
As noted byCBS News, the Georgia State Ethics Commission has already ruled that the New Georgia Project, an Abrams pet project, and its New Georgia Project Action Fund broke Georgia campaign laws in 2018. The group paid a $300,000 fine to resolve 16 violations.
On Monday, the Georgia Senate Special Committee on Investigations issued subpoenas to Abrams, as well as project leaders Lauren Groh-Wargo and Nsé Ufot, as the committee tries to get to the bottom of how money moved around during the 2018 election cycle when Abrams ran for governor and lost, according to a legislativenews release.
The committee wants to interview the trio as it investigates “the extent of coordination, decision-making, financial activity and knowledge surrounding the unlawful political activity identified by state investigators,” CBS News reported.
Georgia Republican Lt. Governor Burt Jones said the panel must ensure that even powerful political organizations play by the rules.
“No one is above the law in Georgia,” Jones said.
“When organizations secretly spend millions to influence elections while evading disclosure requirements, it undermines confidence in our democratic process. The Senate will continue pursuing the truth and ensuring accountability, regardless of political party or influence,” he said.
Republican State Sen. Greg Dolezal, vice chairman of the Senate Special Committee on Investigations, said his panel “has a responsibility to follow the facts wherever they lead.”
