Francys Johnson, the head of Stacey Abrams’ nonprofit The New Georgia Project, announced he is resigning from his post after the firm was hit with a massive fine for illegal campaign fundraising activity.
Twice-failed Democrat Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams created the nonprofit in 2013 to get out the black vote.
Abrams has repeatedly claimed, without providing any evidence whatsoever, that Georgia Republicans engage in black voter suppression. She blamed her previous crushing election loss to Brian Kemp on black voter suppression.
The New Georgia Project was slapped with a $300,000 ethics fine for illegal campaign fundraising in January.
“The [State Ethics Commission’s] investigation, which lasted five years, revealed that the organization raised $4.2 million in dark money and spent $3.2 million on campaign activities,” Fox 5 Atlanta reported last month.
Francys Johnson said he will be resigning from the nonprofit in a recorded phone call obtained by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
“I’ve probably done all the good I can do, and my presence is a distraction to our mission,” Francys Johnson said in a phone call on Monday according to the AJC. “It’s unfortunate, and it’s a reality I can recognize. It’s time to let the organization move forward beyond all this.”
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported:
The head of the voter registration project founded by Stacey Abrams is resigning as the organization struggles with a historic state fine, layoffs and deepening tensions with the Democratic star who launched the group a decade ago.
Francys Johnson told New Georgia Project staffers during a private meeting on Monday that a “new era” for the organization would soon be underway and that he was stepping down as chair of the voting rights advocacy group.
Separately, another firm linked to Stacey Abrams is under fire for a dubious cash infusion from Joe Biden’s EPA.
Earlier this month Elon Musk’s DOGE discovered that Joe Biden’s EPA awarded $2 billion to a firm linked to failed Democrat Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams.
Even worse, the firm only reported $100 in revenue in its first three months in business in 2023.
It was revealed that $2 billion of the $20 billion recovered by Lee Zeldin was awarded to Power Forward Communities, a brand new nonprofit linked to Stacey Abrams, according to the Free Beacon.
How did a brand new firm that only reported $100 in revenue get awarded $2 billion?
Stacey Abrams’ Power Forward Communities received $2 BILLION to be a pass through entity for Biden EPA’s $20 billion “gold bar” scheme.
They reported just $100 in total revenue after their founding in late 2023.
