A federal judge ruled Thursday that a fundraising committee associated with Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams’ campaign cannot begin raising unlimited campaign contributions.

Abrams and One Georgia, the leadership committee she registered in March, filed a lawsuit earlier this year against Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr and other state officials arguing that a state law passed by the Republican-controlled state legislature and signed by Republican Gov. Brian Kemp last year afforded the incumbent an exclusive and unconstitutional fundraising advantage. Kemp, who defeated Abrams in the 2018 governor's race, is seeking a second term this fall.

Statute to recognize Abrams as the Democratic Party nominee before she has been selected in a primary," Cohen ruled Thursday.The judge also suggested he would have been more open to halting Kemp's fundraising advantage rather than allowing Abrams the same ability, writing that the"exclusive remedy" Abrams sought was in"contravention of state law."Read MoreA campaign spokesperson for Kemp declined to comment on the ruling.

Judge denies Abrams bid to seek unlimited contributionsGeorgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams cannot immediately begin raising and spending unlimited campaign contributions under a state law passed last year because she is not yet her party's nominee, a federal judge ruled Thursday. Abrams and her One Georgia committee filed a lawsuit last month challenging the constitutionality of the new law, which allows certain top elected officials and party nominees to create “leadership committees” that can raise campaign funds without limits. “This Court will not rewrite Georgia law to enable One Georgia to stand in the same shoes as a leadership committee that, in Plaintiffs' view, is operating in violation of the First Amendment,” U.S. District Judge Mark Cohen wrote in his order.
