After years of headlines, fundraising drives, and carefully polished “voting rights” messaging, Stacey Abrams’ nonprofit, the New Georgia Project, is finally shutting down. The group’s board released a self-congratulatory statement full of glowing language about “milestones” and “community engagement,” but the reality is less inspiring. This wasn’t a nonprofit that ran out of mission—it ran out of excuses. For a decade, Abrams’ political machine operated in the gray area between activism and campaign work, using lofty slogans to mask some very questionable behavior.
Accountability Comes Knocking in Georgia
The Georgia Senate wasn’t buying the PR spin, and their patience finally wore thin. Lawmakers opened a serious investigation into the New Georgia Project’s finances and campaign coordination, and it’s the same Senate panel also digging into Fulton County DA Fani Willis’ politically charged prosecution of President Donald Trump. That overlap isn’t coincidence—it’s a sign that Georgia’s political watchdogs are starting to notice the same familiar fingerprints on a lot of “progressive” projects. The investigation zeroed in on potential campaign finance violations and questionable firings inside Abrams’ nonprofit, raising new doubts about what the group was really up to behind closed doors.
The $300,000 Fine That Told the Real Story
This past year, Georgia’s State Ethics Commission dropped the hammer on the New Georgia Project with a $300,000 fine for illegal fundraising. That’s not pocket change—it’s the outcome of a five-year investigation uncovering $4.2 million in dark money, with $3.2 million spent directly on campaign-related activities. In plain English, that means a so-called “nonpartisan” nonprofit was spending millions trying to sway elections. The head of the group, Francys Johnson, promptly resigned after the fine was announced—a move that spoke volumes even as the mainstream media treated it like a footnote.
Biden’s $2 Billion Favor Raises Eyebrows
Just when you think the story couldn’t get any swampier, here comes the Biden administration with a $2 billion cherry on top. The Environmental Protection Agency awarded that staggering sum to a brand-new firm tied to Stacey Abrams—Power Forward Communities. The company reportedly showed just $100 in revenue during its first three months in business in 2023, yet somehow landed a multi-billion-dollar federal contract. It’s hard not to wonder how a start-up with no track record and no results managed to leapfrog legitimate businesses to secure one of the largest government deals of the year. Many Americans see it as the latest chapter in a long book of political favoritism and insider access.
The Media’s Favorite Double Standard
If this same scandal involved a conservative figure, you can bet the press would be covering it around the clock. But because Stacey Abrams carries the right political label, most of the media either ignored the story or framed it as a “partisan attack.” For years, they celebrated her as a champion of democracy while her organization was quietly flouting the very campaign finance laws it preached about reforming. The same journalists who hunt for Republican missteps suddenly lost their investigative instincts when it came to Abrams’ empire of dark money.
A Pattern Too Big to Ignore
Between the Georgia ethics violations and the Biden EPA connection, the Stacey Abrams corruption scandal isn’t just about one nonprofit—it’s a window into how political influence really works on the left. The same people who lecture America about “protecting democracy” are often the ones bending the rules behind the scenes. The shutdown of the New Georgia Project isn’t just a bureaucratic formality; it’s a symbolic moment that shows accountability can still win when the truth finally breaks through the spin.
Final Thoughts
Whether it’s the $300,000 fine in Georgia or the $2 billion gift in Washington, the pattern is impossible to ignore. The Stacey Abrams corruption scandal has exposed the double standards, the insider deals, and the media silence that too often protect powerful Democrats from scrutiny. Voters deserve better, taxpayers deserve honesty, and accountability deserves a comeback.
