There is so much about Kelly Loeffler that doesn't support Alpha Gamma Delta's values. If I were voting in Georgia, I would campaign against her.
She inherited a vacant seat and was appointed by Gov.Greg Kemp (I could on on at length about him) based on financial connections. Loeffler had deep pockets and Trump put intense pressure on Kemp to appoint her to the open seat.
Loeffler's husband, Jeffrey Sprecher, is Chairman of the New York Stock Exchange and CEO of the Intercontinental Exchange. In March, the public release of federal financial-disclosure documents revealed that Sprecher and his wife, interim U.S. Senator Kelly Loeffler, sold millions of dollars of stock the couple owned in companies vulnerable to the COVID-19 pandemic. The sales began the same day Loeffler and other senators received a private briefing from federal officials about the looming crisis. The documents also showed that the couple purchased stock in a company that would potentially benefit from the shelter-in-place orders that have since been implemented throughout the United States to prevent the spread of the virus. Insider information? Yes!
Additionally, Loeffler is minority owner of the WNBA Atlanta Dream and has stated her objection to the Black Lives Matter Movement. Her comments led some WNBA players to call for her removal from ownership. There are many other personal views where I differ with her but I will stick with the facts of the problems with her seat as to what is "interesting".
Loeffler is up for reelection in November. In August, members of the Dream came out in support of her opponent. So yes, there is a lot of interesting facts about Kelly Loeffler's very short political career which are not honorable nor just.
