Press Releases

McBath works for Georgia families, Handel works for her Corporate Donors

Mar 25, 2019

Today, career politician Karen Handel announced she is running for Georgia’s 6th Congressional District for the third time in two years. In her announcement video, she asks Georgians to “imagine if we had leaders in Washington who worked for us.”

“Georgians were probably asking themselves that very question when they voted to elect Rep. Lucy McBath as their Congresswoman last November,” said End Citizens United spokesman Patrick Burgwinkle. “While running for and serving in Congress, Karen Handel took more than $500,000 from corporate PACs and worked for them, not the people of Georgia. Handel voted to give her corporate donors a massive tax cut and left working families with the bill. Georgians know Lucy McBath is fighting for them in Washington. All they need to do is follow the money to see who Karen Handel would fight for.”

See below for a list of corporate PAC contributions to Karen Handel’s campaign coffers totaling $500,300. We apologize on Karen Handel’s behalf for the length of this email:
