ATLANTA — The subject line of the email to Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp's top donors simply read "these are important numbers." But the Republican's campaign hopes they punctuate his argument that only he can defeat Democrat Stacey Abrams in November.
Overshadowed by a spate of other political developments, financial records released this week show Kemp has built a significant financial edge over former U.S. Sen. David Perdue, his top Republican adversary.
Despite being a prolific fundraiser in 2020, Perdue reported less than $900,000 in his campaign account. The wealthy former executive also hasn't yet pumped his own money into his campaign, instead relying on about $1.1 million in donations since December.
