Heavyweights Weighing-in For Hunstein in Columbus
From InsiderAdvantage Georgia:
Some heavyweights in the business and political community, led by Synovus Chairman Jim Blanchard and AFLAC Chairman Dan Amos, are weighing-in for Justice Carol Hunstein in her battle for re-election against challenger Mike Wiggins, who has his own roster of business and political supporters.
Blanchard and Amos are among the hosts for a fundraiser in Columbus on Wednesday that includes much of the city’s corporate and political elite.
[Wiggins'] supporters include some top business leaders whose stated goal is to ensure the courts don’t overturn Georgia’s tort reform law bit by bit. An independent 527 organization appears to be prepared to work on Wiggins’ behalf, and already has raised a quarter-million dollars. Too, Wiggins was the guest of honor at a fundraiser in Washington late last month hosted by former Independent Counsel Ken Starr and former Bush administration Solicitor General Ted Olsen.
Hunstein also is backed by two former Democratic governors, Zell Miller and Roy Barnes, and by former Georgia Attorney General Mike Bowers, a Republican. Wiggins has the support of the incumbent governor, Republican Sonny Perdue, and Home Depot founder Bernie Marcus has hosted a fundraiser for him.
