A group backing Stacey Abrams’ 2018 gubernatorial bid was fined $50,000 by the state ethics commission Thursday for failing to report what it spent to help her win the Democratic primary.
Gente4Abrams (People for Abrams) spent $240,000 for canvassing, social media posts, and print and radio advertising to help Abrams win the primary but didn’t report what it spent or where it got the money to pay for those efforts, the commission said.
The group later registered with the state and reported spending about $685,000 more to help the Democrat’s general election campaign against Republican Brian Kemp.
The commission voted 4-1 to accept a consent order with the group. The one vote in opposition came from Eric Barnum, who questioned the size of the penalty, especially since the panel was going to later vote on a lower $10,000 fine against longtime Republican Cobb County Sheriff Neil Warren.
Abrams narrowly lost the 2018 general election to Kemp in the most expensive gubernatorial contest in Georgia history.
David Emadi, the executive director of the commission, said the group agreed to the fine. The organization’s lawyer didn’t appear at the commission’s hearing.
Emadi told the commission he thought the fine for what he described as a “dark money super PAC” was appropriate.

What the hell do they see in that loser?
“a lot”
hahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
a big void
Interesting. They gladly pay the fine rather then disclose the amount and sources of the money they spent. Obviously, the fine is too small.
This so-called “group” was never identified in this article....probably a Soros-funded front sloshing around in laundered monies....oh, the list of probabilities is huge when it comes to criminal Democrats../s
Someone needs to get the Commissions papers on this group via a FOI request. The information might put the Georgia Orca in jail.
HMMMmmm…
