Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp says he will spend more than $500,000 from his political committee to help a state Supreme Court justice he appointed win election
. The Republican Kemp isn't the only conservative supporting Justice Andrew Pinson in his May 21 nonpartisan election against John Barrow, a former Democratic congressman who has built his campaign around abortion rights. It’s a notable escalation as Barrow tries to knock off an incumbent justice, something almost unheard of in Georgia.
Pinson has declined to interpret Georgia's abortion law in interviews, saying it's improper for a judge to discuss an issue he might later rule on. He warns against politicizing the courts. Barrow argues that when Pinson was Georgia’s solicitor general, he was the lawyer most responsible for the state supporting the Mississippi case that led to the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe in 2022.
