IN THE RED. At least five members of Georgia’s congressional delegation took in fewer donations than dollars spent during the first three months of the year.

U.S. Rep. Lucy McBath is the most glaring example. Her campaign raised $46,814 but spent $298,814, a more than $250,000 difference. The Marietta Democrat’s expenditures included $26,400 transferred to her now-suspended exploratory committee for a potential race for Georgia governor. McBath also paid a half-dozen campaign aides a total of about $11,000 each month.

U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Rome, is among the most prominent conservatives in Congress and uses a bevy of paid consultants and social media marketing to help her raise money. This quarter her bills added up to $782,725 while she took in $655,464 in donations.

U.S. Rep. Sanford Bishop, D-Albany, raised $129,424 and spent $154,224. U.S. Rep. David Scott, the Atlanta Democrat who is facing pressure to retire, collected $82,202 in donations and spent $90,166.

U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock raised $254,219 and spent $498,854. But that imbalance is mainly because of refunds to donors from his 2022 reelection campaign, which totaled to $234,502, or nearly half of his expenditures.
