Stacey Abrams' campaign has spent over $1.2M on private security since December
Georgia Democratic gubernatorial nominee Stacey Abrams has spent over $1.2 million on private security since announcing her candidacy in December 2021 despite her ties to multiple abolitionist groups and opposition to the "privatization of justice." A Fox News Digital review found that the Abrams campaign doled out over $400,000 between July and August of this year alone for private security. These payments follow an exclusive report from July that found the Abrams campaign paid out over $800,000 to Executive Protection Agencies, LLC, an Atlanta-based private security firm, between December 2021 and June of this year. The company’s website says the group provides executive protection that comes with a "keen eye with a thorough knowledge of the venue through threat assessment" for its clients.The website also says the company provides armed and unarmed security guards.
