Stacey Abrams' PAC Paid Thousands of Dollars to a Director's Family and Friends for Little or No Work Performed
RICK MORAN | OCTOBER 15, 2022 | 10:04 AMStacey Abrams, the current Democratic candidate for governor of Georgia, created a PAC after her close loss to Gov. Brian Kemp (R-Ga.) in 2018. Called “Fair Fight PAC,” the name alludes to the scurrilous election denial by Abrams that she lost because of “voter suppression.”
Abrams has used Fair Fight PAC to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars. But there are questions about where a sizable portion of that money went and what it was spent on.
Long-time Abrams aide Andre Fields acts as Fair Fight’s political director. Records show that members of Fields’ family and several friends have received thousands of dollars in “consulting fees” despite the fact that they all have full-time jobs and have no political experience.
The three combined received $178,000 in consulting services despite the fact that none of them have “consulted” on any other campaigns. “Ghost payrolling” is common in Chicago politics, and it works pretty much the same way as it does in Abrams’ PAC.
I guess I should mention it’s illegal.Abrams is also being called out for Fair Fight spending half a million dollars on private security. . .
