Bomb scare disrupts Raffensperger campaign stop

Law enforcement was at the scene at High Note Aviation in Macon following a credible bomb threat that disrupted a campaign event for gubernatorial candidate and current Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. The Bibb County Sheriff’s Office and specialized bomb disposal units arrived at the scene late Tuesday morning, May 12, 2026, just as Raffensperger was scheduled to meet with local voters. Officers quickly established a perimeter, pushing supporters and media back as a precaution while canine units swept the area.
