DEL.ICIO.USMcGuire joins appeals court race
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Former Republican state Sen. Perry McGuire of Douglasville has joined the race to replace Judge John H. Ruffin Jr. on the state Court of Appeals.
McGuire’s qualifying for the race means five attorneys will battle for the slot. Ruffin is retiring.
Qualifying ends today and the election is in November.
Also running are Bruce M. Edenfield of Atlanta, Christopher J. McFadden of Decatur, Mike Sheffield of Lawrenceville and Sen. Michael Meyer von Bremen (D-Albany) to run for election this November.
Sheffield, a criminal defense lawyer, ran for a seat on the appellate court four years ago in a race won by Judge Debra Bernes.
