So far, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp has brought in more than $22 million in his bid for reelection. But compared to the fundraising skills of his Democratic challenger, Stacey Abrams, he's just collecting pocket change.

Brian Kemp should have no problem fundraising — and in some ways, he doesn’t. He locked up in-state donors in the GOP primary even after former president Donald Trump recruited a challenger.
Abrams officially joined the race last December — about nine months later than the incumbent governor — but was only $1.6 million behind him in fundraising, according to financial disclosure forms for each campaign committee filed in March. By now, Abrams may have already overtaken Kemp; the second quarter filing period ended on June 30, and results will be released in early July.
“We have entered this general election, fully aware that we will be out-raised and out-spent,” said Cody Hall, Kemp’s spokesperson. “But you know, it’s a matter of how much we can keep pace, and we feel confident about that.” Some of the PAC’s largest donations have come from national businesses, like Uline, that have operations in Georgia, according to the most recent financial disclosure forms. One of them is Majestic Realty, a private development company for commercial real estate based in California with a regional office in Atlanta, which gave Kemp $250,000 last November.
To boost his donation numbers against Abrams, Kemp’s campaign has also retained the services of several financial consulting firms. Campaign Consulting Group has been handling in-state fundraising, according to Tate Mitchell, Kemp’s campaign press secretary. Kemp’s team has also paid for help from Washington, D.C.
