FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE THURSDAY, MAY 4 KELLY LOEFFLER JOINS GOVERNOR KEMP AS HE SIGNS ZUCKERBUCKS BAN INTO LAW ATLANTA - Yesterday, Greater Georgia Chairwoman and Former U.S. Senator Kelly Loeffler joined Governor Brian Kemp as he signed Senate Bill 222, Georgia's new "Zuckerbucks" ban, into law. The law prevents local governments from accepting outside funding to pay for their election operations. "Today, Governor Kemp took the final step to ensure that elections in the state of Georgia are never bought and paid for by special interests," said Loeffler. "I am deeply grateful to the Governor for signing SB 222 into law, and to all our conservative lawmakers who took immediate action to stop partisan influence in our elections when Greater Georgia blew the whistle on it earlier this year. This is a tremendous win not only for our organization but for every Georgia voter - and we will never stop fighting to hold bad actors accountable, to deliver free and fair elections in the state of Georgia." Senate Bill 222 was initially introduced in February after Greater Georgia blew the whistle on DeKalb County, which covertly sought and then accepted $2 million in grant funding from the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL). Greater Georgia has a long history of opposing "Zuckerbucks," dating back to 2020 - when CTCL partnered with Mark Zuckerberg to funnel $45 million into left-leaning boards of election in Georgia. The legislation was sponsored by Senator Max Burns (R-Sylvania) in the Senate and carried by Representative Houston Gaines (R-Athens) in the House. Having been signed into law, it now takes immediate effect. Greater Georgia, launched by former U.S. Senator Kelly Loeffler in 2021, is a 501(c4) nonpartisan nonprofit dedicated to growing participation in the democratic process by mobilizing and empowering voters. The group works year-round to educate and register voters, engage with diverse and underrepresented communities, and protect election integrity. ###  Media Contact: [email protected] Paid for by Greater Georgia Action, Inc.
