  • In recent years, the New Georgia Project faced mounting legal and financial troubles, including a record $300,000 fine and undisclosed roughly $4.2 million in contributions and $3.2 million in expenditures.

  • In recent weeks only a skeletal staff remained after several rounds of layoffs since the 2024 election, while Stacey Abrams and U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock have distanced themselves from current operations.
