Judge Scott McAfee, who is overseeing the Georgia election interference trial, is facing reelection in May.
Judge Scott McAfee, who is overseeing the Georgia trial into former President Donald Trump’s alleged election interference, has raised just over $125,000 for his own reelection so far this year, according to a new campaign finance filing.
McAfee is seeking reelection to his nonpartisan position as Fulton Superior Court judge on May 21 as he oversees one of the most high-profile trials in the country.
In this case, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis brought charges against Trump and 18 defendants for allegedly trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia, a swing state that narrowly backed President Joe Biden. Trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges and has accused Willis of targeting him for political purposes.
He has drawn two challengers, former Fulton County Solicitor General Tiffani Johnson and civil rights attorney Robert H. Patillo. Willis herself will also be on the ballot in the DA’s Democratic primary, facing off against challenger Christian Wise Smith.
