Stacey Abrams' blockbuster fundraising driven by out-of-state money

Abrams’ campaign and leadership committee have reported receiving about $7 million from Georgia donors, or just over 14% of the nearly $50 million they’ve combined to raise this cycle.

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 — came from Fair Fight, a voting policy group founded by Abrams herself.

Zoom out: 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.
