Stacey Abrams' voting accessibility PAC Fair Fight appears to be paying many thousands of dollars to family and friends of its director who lack political experience or expertise.
The PAC, established in the wake of Abrams' 2018 loss to Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, is doling out cash - to the tune of $178,000 - to people close to the PAC's director, Andre Fields.
When confronted by the accusation, Fair Fight told Fox News it was launching an internal investigation.
'We take these matters very seriously and have initiated a comprehensive investigation. Personnel will remain on leave pending the outcome.
'Fair Fight strives to operate with the utmost integrity, as is core to our values,' a spokesperson told the outlet.
The highest paid cash recipient was Fields' sister, Darius Faulk, who the PAC paid more than $120,000 since August 2021 for her training consultant services, according to records from the Federal Election Commission.
Faulk, however, is not an experienced political organizer. She works for the Hofstra University women's basketball program, where she also played as a student, as an assistant coach, according to the school's website.
In a December 2019 profile of Fields in Voyage Atlanta, the PAC director gives special thanks to some of his friends and includes in the list Asa Fludd and Cruz Alvarado.
Incidentally, both have now been paid tens of thousands of dollars by Abrams' PAC.
Fludd, whose LinkedIn indicates he works in computer systems and not politics, has been paid nearly $29,800 since 2021, according to filings.
And Alvarado was paid $29,000 in the same time frame for training and consulting services, while working in the event industry, according to her LinkedIn profile.
Despite receiving just shy of $180,000 in sum from Fair Fight, the three so-called consultants have not received payments from any other federal political committees for similar work, according to Fox.

why stop there . the clinton foundation , national action network [al sharpton] , people united to serve humanity [jesse jackson] , black lives matter [patrisse cullor] should all be looked into along with political action committees.
Well, if they are collecting money from leftist supporters and then ripping them off to fill their own pockets, at least the money is not being spent on vote fraud. So, it’s a win-win for people who want fair and trustworthy elections. The result is that the opposition has less money spent on their vote fraud activities and the communist money-men are having their collective pockets picked buy their own people! Yeah!
ABRAMS yelled at Scotty: The engines cannot take anymore Scotty!!! Scotty replied: OF COURSE NOT!!!! Space trips have a WEIGHT LIMIT!!!
A typical politician pushing the envelope to see how far we go and not get caught. Or get prosecuted .and go to jail. Repub. Or Dem. No diff. Only thing that changes is the name ànd or party. Here is problem the Christian church is sound.asleep. Where is the church when garbage like this is going on???The church should be the outspoken conscience of the State and or the nation. The church does not even know what is right or wrong anymore! What is right or wrong you ask?? Read the Book of Romans, I Corinthians, Galatians. That will be a good Start. Rember don't try to translate if the verse says don't do, That is exactly what it means. If the book says a act is.a.abomination before God you better not be doing it !! When it says Love your neighbor as yourself, You better be doing It. If the says: if you do these things you will not go to Heaven that is what it Means. Ok Sunday Sermon is over.
Difference between Dems and Republicans - Republicans may not solve all your problems, but the de"moc"rats are the ones who cause all of them. Also I ahven't heard about any Republican "paying many thousands of dollars to family and friends of its director who lack political experience or expertise."
also, I should note that throughout history the Church has been controlled by the government. The founders of the USA tried to get away from that, but it didn't wor completely. I would also dispute that the Bible says exactly what it means.
Your comment was great right up to the second "also". Then your anti-religion bias jumped out and ruined your credibility!
