Republican strategists aligned with Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) on Monday launched an outside group aimed at hitting Democrat Stacey Abrams over her possible 2022 gubernatorial run.

The independent group, dubbed "Stop Stacey," says it will work to uncover what it called the former gubernatorial candidate's "shady voter groups that undermine election integrity, unite and mobilize grassroots Republicans across the country."

"We will do whatever it takes to expose Stacey Abrams’ radical network, highlight her dangerous agenda, and ultimately defeat her – and her left-wing candidates – at the ballot box," the group's senior strategist Jeremy Brand said in a statement. "There is no time to waste: We must stand up, fight back, and Stop Stacey.”

The group's creation highlights the concern Georgia Republicans have over Abrams potentially challenging Kemp, who has been in the middle of party infighting over the results of the 2020 presidential election.
