Day 2 of our Midterms Follow the Money highlights state by state. Early voting is already open in Georgia and day 1 shattered records. The uniparty is alive and well in Georgia, so let's go. Fun fact: Pro-Israel PACs have sent more than $1 million to Georgia candidates this cycle: $672,129 to Democrats and $341,925 to Republicans. Senate Race: Sorry, GA, both your choices for this race are awful. Jon Ossoff (D) has taken over $800k from pro-Israel PACS while in the Senate. He raised $91.6 million, but only about 18% of his itemized donations came from Georgia. About $302,000 came bundled through JStreetPAC. A Senate Majority PAC affiliate has spent $7 million against his opponent. Mike Collins (R) received $10M from Howard Lutnick's firm, Cantor Fitzgerald. Collins bought Ethereum nine days before he voted for the stablecoin law, and later bought a stablecoin. A super PAC chaired by a Tether executive then spent $350,000 to help him. Its biggest donor, at $10 million, was Cantor Fitzgerald, the firm that holds Tether’s reserves and is run by the sons of Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. Collins runs as a trucker, but his own disclosure shows he owes his family company up to $500,000 and personally guarantees a credit line for Collins Trucking of up to $500,000. His Senate campaign owes him $286,941, which he can repay himself with donor money. Governor Race: Rick Jackson (R) has put more than $108 million of his own money into the race and gave Trump’s super PAC $2 million. Georgia agencies have paid his companies about $1 billion since 2020. His company is registered as a state lobbying client this year, and a company at its headquarters address gave $8,400 to Tim Fleming, the Republican running to oversee Georgia’s elections. Keisha Lance Bottoms (D) had raised $5.8 million by July 31. State records show one donor, whose company was an airport concessions partner while she was mayor, gave $18,400 for the primary. The limit is $8,400, and only $1,600 shows as returned. Her campaign should explain it. Public Service Commission: these two seats decide who controls the board that sets Georgia Power’s rates. A nonprofit that doesn’t disclose its donors gave $1 million to a committee backing Republican Josh Tolbert. His own campaign raised about $35,000 in large checks. Congress: Rep. Lucy McBath (D, GA-6) has received $362,010 through AIPAC’s PAC, more than any other candidate in Georgia. Rep. Brian Jack (R, GA-3) has received $221,550 from AIPAC’s and the RJC’s PACs. Crypto super PACs spent $4.2 million to elect Jasmine Clark (D) in GA-13. Every race and what you need to know abou teach candidate is at midterms.theleahfiles.com
