GA-SEN: Warnock raises almost $3M in Georgia Senate race in second quarter

Rev. Raphael Warnock (D) raised over $2.85 million in the second quarter in the Georgia Senate race, though he will likely face an uphill climb to outraise incumbent Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R).

Warnock’s campaign announced Thursday it has raised over $4.3 million for the entire 2020 cycle and doubled its first-quarter haul after a series of high-profile endorsements from lawmakers like Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) and Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.).

“Our strong fundraising shows that Georgians are looking for real change and above all else, an authentic voice in Washington,” said Warnock. “Folks want to know someone is looking out for them, their health care, their children’s futures, and their rights. We are in the fight for the soul of our nation's democracy, but I’m encouraged that our message is resonating. It will be a tough fight, but with the support we’re seeing, it is one that we can win.”

Loeffler is a Kemp appointee who is not from the state and spent no appreciable amount of time here before her appointment. She's also a crook. She needs to go.
