GOP Sen. Kelly Loeffler's latest ads remind Georgians she has a private plane
Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) is trying to bury her questionable stock selloff under a pile of money.
Loeffler has only been a U.S. senator for a few months, but remains embroiled in an ethics scandal after receiving a closed-door coronavirus briefing in January and quickly selling off stocks. Loeffler has denied any ethics violations in the sale. Still, she's aiming to win her seat this fall, and debuted several ads Monday that remind voters how much money she's personally spent fighting coronavirus.

The same headlines — yes, private plane and $1 million — pop up in a second ad Loeffler debuted Monday. But while $1 million is a good chunk of money for hospitals that need it, it's far less than the $4 million she's spending to push these latest ads across Georgia.
