FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MONDAY, NOVEMBER 7 LOEFFLER CALLS FOR ETHICS INVESTIGATION INTO ABRAMS' NEW GEORGIA PROJECT (ATLANTA) – Today, in a letter to the Georgia State Ethics Commission, Greater Georgia Chairwoman Kelly Loeffler called for a new investigation into Stacey Abrams' New Georgia Project (NGP), following a bombshell report about the group's financial impropriety. Among other revelations, the Washington Free Beacon last week exposed new details behind the sudden dismissal of NGP Chief Financial Officer Randall Frazier. According to a former NGP executive, Frazier was fired “after warning the group’s leaders that they were engaged in potential financial impropriety and urging them to bring in a forensic accountant to right the ship.” NGP later thwarted an attempt by independent auditors to evaluate the group's finances. "Stacey Abrams founded the New Georgia Project, and Raphael Warnock served as its CEO until 2020. But the law is clear: 501(c)(4) nonprofit organizations cannot be used as campaign weapons in coordination with political candidates," Loeffler wrote in the letter. "Amidst a highly competitive governor’s race and a senatorial race that may decide the balance of power in the U.S. Senate, the Georgia State Ethics Commission should review this matter to ensure neither Abrams nor Warnock illegally colluded with the New Georgia Project to gain an unfair advantage, and to investigate the nature of the group’s financial impropriety." NGP and other Abrams-affiliated groups have a long history of illicit behavior, especially as it relates to benefitting her political ambitions. The group is already under investigation for malfeasance in 2018, when it illegally campaigned for Abrams and refused to disclose more than $4 million in contributions to her campaign. A separate Politico report last week revealed that NGP’s sister organization, Fair Fight Action, paid almost $10 million to Abrams’ campaign chairwoman under the guise of “legal fees.” View the full letter from Chairwoman Kelly Loeffler below: ### Media Contact:
