Fani Willis' fundraising soars in Fulton County prosecutor's race

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis might be the best known local prosecutor in the country. Her race for a second term might also be one of the most expensive of its kind.

Willis, the architect of the still-pending election interference case against former President Donald Trump and numerous others, has raised more than $2.1 million this election cycle. She enters the final stretch of the race with more than $800,000 on hand, according to newly released financial records.

For context, that’s far more than winning statewide GOP candidates for agriculture commissioner, labor commissioner and school superintendent raised through the 2022 cycle.

And it far surpasses the hauls of some long-time U.S. House incumbents in the Georgia delegation, including Democrat Sanford Bishop, D-Albany, and Republican Barry Loudermilk, R-Cassville.
