Georgia Senate Subpoenas Stacey Abrams in Campaign Finance Probe

The Georgia Senate has issued subpoenas to Stacey Abrams and two leaders of the New Georgia Project (NGP) as part of an ongoing investigation into alleged campaign finance violations during the 2018 election cycle. The Senate Special Committee on Investigations announced Monday that Abrams, along with NGP leaders Lauren Groh-Wargo and Nsé Ufot, must appear before lawmakers at the State Capitol on Friday. The subpoenas follow findings by the Georgia State Ethics Commission that the NGP and its affiliated Action Fund violated campaign finance laws. Earlier this year, the groups admitted to 16 violations and agreed to pay a $300,000 fine, the largest in Georgia history. The NGP dissolved in 2025 amid financial and legal troubles. Republican state Sen. Greg Dolezal, vice chairman of the committee, stated that the investigation aims to determine who was involved in the decision-making behind the violations and how funds were managed. Georgia's Republican Lt. Gov. Burt Jones emphasized that 'no one is above the law' in Georgia. The committee seeks to uncover the extent of coordination, financial activity, and knowledge related to the violations.
