With more than $57,500 spent by five candidates in the race for Bulloch County probate judge, mainly by the two who are in Tuesday’s runoff, the contest ranks well behind those for sheriff and Superior Court judge in campaign spending. By the latest required campaign finance disclosure date, June 30, candidate Charles P. “Charlie” Aaron, an attorney with Edenfield, Cox, Bruce and Classens, had received and spent twice as much as his runoff opponent, Lorna G. DeLoach, a paralegal and the office manager at Stafford Law Group. Aaron reported receiving $33,904 in contributions so far and spending $31,914, before the final three weeks leading to the July 26 runoff.
