Abrams builds huge financial edge over Kemp in 2022

ATLANTA — Stacey Abrams has far outpaced Gov. Brian Kemp in the race for campaign cash, collecting more than $28 million since she launched a second bid for Georgia’s top office. The bitter rivals have already raised more in their rematch than they did during their entire 2018 campaign.

Abrams amassed roughly $9.8 million in campaign contributions between May 1 and June 30 along with another $12.3 million through her leadership committee, a financial vehicle that can accept unlimited donations and coordinate with candidates.

Kemp has lagged Abrams in fundraising despite an edge in the polls and the powers of incumbency. He collected roughly $3.8 million in campaign contributions and another $3 million through the leadership committee over the same period.
