New law means no more ‘Zuckerbucks’ in Georgia

Local governments across Georgia can no longer accept outside funding to pay for elections operations. A bill banning “Zuckerbucks” became law Wednesday when Gov. Brian Kemp signed Senate Bill 222 in a special ceremony which included former U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler, Chairwoman and founder of Greater Georgia – a nonprofit organization dedicated to growing participation in the democratic process by mobilizing and empowering voters.

“Governor Kemp took the final step to ensure that elections in the state of Georgia are never bought and paid for by special interests,” said Loeffler. “I am deeply grateful to the Governor for signing SB 222 into law, and to all our conservative lawmakers who took immediate action to stop partisan influence in our elections when Greater Georgia blew the whistle on it earlier this year.
