Help Move Georgia Forward
Both Loeffler and Kansas Republican with same outside group backers have “identical or near-identical” economic plans
ATLANTA — Today, a new report from the Kansas City Star revealed a plagiarism scandal involving unelected “political mega-donor” Senator Kelly Loeffler and Kansas Republican Roger Marshall.
Loeffler and Marshall — who have used the same GOP digital communications consulting firm — recently released economic plans mirroring each other, raising questions about their “identical or near-identical phrasings.”
Both Loeffler and Marshall have also received backing from many of the same outside groups that have spent big to prop each of them up in intraparty Republican battles. Maybe that’s why Loeffler struggled to explain the similarities and originally “did not directly address the striking resemblance between the plans.”
“Kelly Loeffler has spent her short time as an unelected senator caught up in one scandal after another as she struggles to earn voters’ trust after her shady stock trades,” said Alex Floyd, spokesman for the Democratic Party of Georgia. “No amount of boilerplate talking points will make Georgians forget how her first priority in the pandemic was protecting her stock portfolio instead of rushing relief to our state.”
