ATLANTA (AP) Republican Governor Brian Kemp has more than $9 million on hand more than a year before the 2022 general election, having raised nearly $4 million from Feb. 1 through June 30.
Kemp has raised nearly $12 million since the beginning of 2020. He is one of dozens of statewide candidates who filed campaign finance reports Thursday with state ethics officials.
More than a quarter of Kemp s money was raised in the biggest possible chunks with donors giving the maximum contribution of $7,000. More than 150 donors gave not only for the Republican primary, in which Kemp faces three declared rivals, but also for the general election, in which many believe he will have a rematch against 2018 Democratic nominee Stacey Abrams.

ALBANY â Manswell Peterson is not one to sit on the sidelines and observe.
The Navy veteran, former police officer and former college professor decided, after watching the Georgia state legislature pass Senate Bill 202 that, among other things, has led to Major League Baseball pulling its annual high-profile all-star game out of the state, to announce his candidacy for the secretary of stateâs office.
Peterson made the announcement during a media event in the courtyard of the downtown Albany-Dougherty County Government Center Friday, one of several campaign stops he had planned across the state over the weekend.
âAfter watching the kind of unethical behavior weâve see in Georgia over the last 12 years, I couldnât stand by and do nothing any longer,â Peterson, who lives in Albany with his family, said. âFree and fair elections are the bedrock of our country; thatâs why I took an oath to defend it.
