Abrams, a two-time Georgia gubernatorial candidate, dismissed the allegations, calling them a politically motivated distraction by Trump and his allies.

“His failure to deliver on any of his promises and instead of doing his work, he's going after those of us who are doing the work of the American people,” Abrams stated.

She defended her record, highlighting her work in Georgia:

“I am very proud of the work that I've done to protect voting rights, to lower the cost of energy for real people in the state of Georgia and working with organizations that want to do it around the country.”

Power Forward Communities and Stacy Abrams Connection

Power Forward Communities is a program led by five organizations including Rewiring America, a nonprofit group that former Democratic state Rep. Stacey Abrams has worked with since 2023.

 Power Forward Communities received a $2 billion government grant from the Environmental Protection Agency in 2024.

It is worth noting that on February 24, 2025, 8 months after receiving the funds Power Forward Communities issued a press release claiming “Today’s announcement commits $539 million of the $2 billion EPA grant.”  

Abrams is connected to that group but says she only has an advisory role.

When pressed on her involvement with the organization that received federal funding, Abrams claimed:

“I led a project in Southwest Georgia that has lowered the cost of energy for struggling families and I'm extraordinarily proud of that work. And because of that work, because of the work of five major organizations around this country that have done more than 250 years of service combined, the Biden Administration authorized a grant.”

“I did not work for the entity that received the grant ultimately. I worked for one of the partner organizations. But I was very much a part of pushing and showing America that we can lower prices, that the money is there, the will is there, and the capacity is there. What is not there is Donald Trump and his lackeys’ willingness to let the American people get the benefit.”

Senator Kennedy’s Take on the Issue

Senator Kennedy has raised serious concerns about the funding allocations, questioning the legitimacy of the organizations receiving these large sums:

“Here's what I see. I see two organizations (not 5)  in the last year or so of President Biden's administration on their filings. They say they have no experience and no accomplishments. One of them only has a hundred bucks in the bank.”

“Senior counsel is Miss Stacy Abrams, a well-known Democratic politician who is asking the president of the United States and his EPA for $2 billion cash to fight gas stoves. And getting the money to the exclusion of every other applicant who might have been able to use that money.”
