"But unlike my opponent, who has called base pay for law enforcement officers 'bad policy,' I firmly believe that we must invest in law enforcement to ensure that no one is working in public safety without just compensation — while also working to improve accountability and build trust within our communities," she added.
Abrams' staunch defense of her position on policing was accompanied by a new 30-second ad her campaign released earlier in the day titled "Truth." In the ad, Abrams accused Kemp of trying to distract Georgians from her record that, she says, shows she's actually supported law enforcement throughout her political career.
