Raffensperger’s independent political action committee, Safe Affordable Georgia, filed a federal lawsuit in December asking permission to raise unlimited funds for his campaign.
Under the 2021 law, leadership committees can raise money year-round for a variety of election-related activities and candidates.
“Hardworking Georgians deserve elections where the rules are the same for everyone, no matter what title or office you hold,” Safe Affordable Georgia said in a statement.
Charles Miller, a lawyer representing Safe Affordable Georgia, said legislators weren’t worried about corruption when they let top state officials raise unlimited sums of money for their leadership committees.
Jones’ leadership committee received $100,000 in contributions from four sources and around 60 donations of $10,000 or more, Safe Affordable Georgia noted in court records.
