Stacey Abrams, David Perdue call foul on GOP proposal to ban fundraising while Georgia legislature is in session

Both the Democrat and Republican seeking to oust Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) are calling foul on a proposal by GOP lawmakers that would prohibit fundraising while the legislature is in session.

State legislators say the measure is fair only given that current officeholders are prohibited from raising money during the legislative session, but Democrat Stacey Abrams and former senator David Perdue, who is challenging Kemp in the GOP primary, say the proposal unfairly targets their campaigns and gives Kemp an unfair advantage.
