Hand-picked mega-donor meets with McConnell before Georgians, “under scrutiny” for her likely conflicts of interest
ATLANTA — The hand-picked mega-donor appointed to Georgia’s soon-to-be-vacant Senate seat found time to jetset to Washington to meet with Mitch McConnell but is dodging the Georgia press corps and voters as she faces a potential “minefield’ of ethical issues.”
Two stories in the AJC highlight these problems, which compound the “mounting conservative criticism” and fallout from her promise to buy a Senate seat with “$20 million of her own cash”:
AJC: The Jolt: A soon-to-be senator not yet ready for her close-up
AJC: Loeffler to face ‘minefield’ of potential ethical issues in Senate
“Kelly Loeffler may prefer hobnobbing in Washington with Mitch McConnell and special interests but she has questions to answer about her record and the potential ethical issues facing her appointment,” said Alex Floyd, spokesman for the Democratic Party of Georgia. “Georgians deserve a senator who will focus on fighting for them in Washington, not fighting to protect their own financial dealings while cozying up to Republican political insiders and powerful special interests.”
