Kemp and other Georgia Republicans have defended the law and dismissed corporate concerns about it.
Delta, which is headquartered in Atlanta, came out against the law in a blistering memo Wednesday from CEO Ed Bastian. The company, through its political action committee, has a history of supporting Kemp and several of the bill s sponsors. Since 2018, the PAC has given over $25,000 to Kemp and several GOP lawmakers.
A Delta spokeswoman would not say whether the company would halt its donations to Kemp and the law s other supporters. As it relates to DeltaPAC and our political donations, we have robust processes in place for reviewing candidates before every contribution to ensure they align with both Delta s position on priority aviation and business issues, and our values, Lisa Hanna, the Delta spokeswoman, said in an email. Previous contributions do not mean DeltaPAC will contribute to a candidate in the future.
