Stacey Abrams' blockbuster fundraising driven by out-of-state money
In one of the highest-profile gubernatorial battles in the country, Georgia Democrat Stacey Abrams is leveraging a vast pool of out-of-state money.Abrams' fundraising profile — which consists of huge backing from wealthy coastal Democrats and a massive base of small-dollar support — is more typical of a leading national candidate than a gubernatorial contender.
Incumbent Republican Gov. Brian Kemp's campaign and leadership committee have brought in more than $27 million from in-state donors, or nearly 84% of their almost $33 million total since Kemp began fundraising in 2019. A substantial chunk of Abrams' in-state raise — a $1.5 million donation to her leadership committee —If the trend holds, Abrams would be the only Georgia gubernatorial nominee from either party since at least the 1990s to receive a majority of campaign funds from out of state, according to an Axios analysis of campaign finance records.
