Abrams formerly worked as the executive director of the Roosevelt Institute’s Southern Economic Advancement Project (SEAP), throughout which she was paid at least $708,324 from 2019 to 2021, according to a financial disclosure statement filed in March.

"Because our racial disparities are so severe across all elements of the American economy and society, no policy, even if facially race-neutral, is race-neutral in practice," the authors claimed.

"The filibuster has been disproportionately used throughout history by segregationists and other white supremacists to slow or stop laws intended to promote racial equity. Today, it continues to stall progress on key democracy priorities: protecting voting rights; ending partisan gerrymandering; curbing the influence of corporate money and lobbying in our rulemaking process; and creating stronger ethics laws for federal officeholders."

"Unlike her opponent, Stacey Abrams has made her plans for Georgia very clear," campaign communications director Michael Holloman responded in an announcement.
