ATLANTA — A federal judge on Monday dealt a partial blow to Gov. Brian Kemp’s reelection fundraising plans, saying he can’t use a special leadership committee that lets him raise unlimited campaign contributions to help him win the Republican primary.
But it was a split decision, because the ruling also said Kemp can still use the new leadership committee to raise money — including during the General Assembly session — to spend in other races. That could include his expected rematch with Democrat Stacey Abrams if he wins the GOP primary.
And the ruling does not say the committee has to give back the money it previously spent or has committed to spend on things such as advertising to win the Republican race.
