ATLANTA — With a well-honed national fundraising machine and big-donor connections, Democratic gubernatorial nominee Stacey Abrams took in about nine of every 10 campaign dollars she collected over the past three months from outside the state she hopes to run.
That trend has held since her 2018 gubernatorial race against Brian Kemp, which she narrowly lost while setting fundraising records.
What may be more surprising is that Kemp, who is running for re-election next month against Abrams, has also raised big money from out-of-state donors this time around, according to an Atlanta Journal-Constitution review of campaign disclosures filed for the July 1-Sept. 30 period.
