Stacey Abrams' nonprofit FINED largest amount in state history

A voter registration nonprofit founded by former Georgia state Rep. Stacey Abrams secretly boosted her 2018 gubernatorial bid in violation of campaign finance law and was slapped with a $300,000 fine Wednesday.

The New Georgia Project and its action fund fessed up spending $3.2 million to foot the bill for canvassers and fliers supporting Abrams, 51, and others without disclosing those contributions. It agreed to pay the fine from Georgia’s ethics commission.

 

“We are glad to finally put this matter behind us so the New Georgia Project can fully devote its time and attention to its efforts to civically engage and register black, brown, and young voters in Georgia,” Aria Branch, counsel to the nonprofit, told The Post in a statement.
