"Stacey Abrams raised more than $9.2 million since entering the race for governor in December...."

This entire twitter read is an inspiring follow.




From the article:

Stacey Abrams raised more than $9.2 million since entering the race for governor in December, setting a blistering fundraising pace that eclipsed Republican Gov. Brian Kemp.

The Democrat will report about $7.2 million in cash on hand at the end of the financial quarter after collecting contributions from more than 100,000 donors in just two months, a campaign aide said Wednesday.

Abrams outpaced Kemp, who raised $7.4 million over the final six months of the year. He ended the year with about $12.7 million in the bank.

The other top candidate for governor, former U.S. Sen. David Perdue, has yet to disclose his fundraising figures. The Republican, who joined the race against Kemp at Donald Trump’s urging, has tried to downplay expectations by saying the “status quo” fears him.

The race for governor is already on track to shatter the Georgia spending record established in 2018, when more than $100 million was spent on the contest that ended with Kemp’s win. In that race, Abrams shelled out $27.4 million while Kemp spent $21.4 million. Both could far surpass those sums this year.

The stakes are enormous & the deep pockets of her competitors have no $$ limit.

Pitiful that a State Gov race should be this costly.
But for now its what has to be in order to seat her & change the current ways of doing business in an election.
