Georgia Republicans are ramping up an investigation into failed gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams and her voter outreach organization, New Georgia Project.
A state Senate committee issued subpoenas ordering Abrams, former New Georgia Project CEO Nsé Ufot and Abram’s former campaign manager Lauren Groh-Wargo to appear at the Capitol on Friday. The probe centers on alleged campaign finance violations tied to her organization’s activities during the 2018 campaign, according to Fox News.

The organizations agreed to pay a $300,000 fine, the largest campaign finance penalty in the state’s history.
The state ethics commission alleged that the group acted as an illegal super PAC during Abram’s 2018 bid for governor. It raised $4.2 million in dark money and spent $3.2 million on campaign activities without disclosing it. The Georgia Senate voted in March 2025 to move forward with an investigation into Abrams and her organization, which shut down later in the year.
