Stacey Abrams Goes From Poor Politician to Multimillionaire by Losing an Election – Opinion

Sometimes it is worth coming in last. Ask Stacey Abrams.

As the Democratic nominee, she took a shot at becoming Georgia’s governor in 2018.

Upon final count, she’d been bested by Republican Brian Kemp.

Why let one’s loss determine whether one wins or not? It was simply not possible for her to accept failure as a reality.

“Is [Brian] the legitimate governor-elect of Georgia?” Jake Tapper asked her at the time.

She didn’t say yes:

“He is the person who won the adequate number of votes to become the governor. … Words have meaning. My entire life was spent as an attorney and a writer. And I’m careful of the words I choose. … He is the legal victor.”

It is clear that:

“What you are looking for me to say is that there was no compromise of our democracy, and there should be some political compromise in the language I use, and that’s not right. What’s not right is saying that something was done properly when it was not.”

Oprah might have had a point with this. The Secret —Abrams, via the Law of Attraction verbally stated her preference in politics. She has remained prominent ever since.

To quantify the lady’s political Q, The Associated Press reports on her rousing financial finish. Stacey’s bank account was a sinking ship back before the election; now she’s well beyond ship shape:

Kemp criticized Abrams in 2018 for owing $54,000 to the IRS, self-employment taxes she didn’t pay on time. …

Abrams also had $83,000 of accumulated credit card debt, and $96,000 in student loan repayments in 2018. Because a publisher paid $150,000 for her first nonfiction book, Abrams only had positive net worth. In that book, “Minority Leader,” Abrams wrote that she borrowed at a time when “my understanding of personal finance barely scratched the surface.”

It’s never been so easy to lose:

This year she will launch a second bid. [lackluster finances are]This is no longer an issue.

Abrams now says she’s worth $3.17 million, according to state disclosures filed in March. That’s compared with a net worth of $109,000 when she first ran four years ago.

She’s the Six Million Dollar Woman:

Her meteoric rise into the millionaire category coincides well with her success in national politics. Abrams, who lost to Republican Brian Kemp in 2018, has been a prominent voting rights advocate. Abrams was considered a possible running mate for President Joe Biden. She is well-known for organizing Georgian voters to support him becoming the first Democrat in Georgia to win the presidency in 28 years. Her earnings have reached $6 million, with $5 million of payments to books and speeches.

She is not dancing in a torrent of dough; her state-level loss has been cosmically countered.

If you have the opportunity to serve as President of the Planet, who would want to be Georgia’s governor?

Ladies and gentlemen and X’s of Earth, Star Trek star Stacey Abrams:

It just goes to show — as long as there’s life, there’s hope.

Do Democrats have such an amazing ascension by political plummet or is it a unique phenomenon? I’m not sure, but don’t expect to see Larry Elder in Star Wars.

Having said that, don’t be surprised if Stacey Abrams is the next Princess Leia.
