Charles "Chuck" McRae (c. 1939 – YEAR) was a Justice of the Supreme Court of Mississippi from November 1990 to January 2004.
McRae was "a Gulfport attorney who was active in state and national trial lawyer associations".[1] McRae ran for a seat on the court occupied by Joel Blass, who had been appointed to a seat vacated by the death of judge Ruble Griffin. McRae saturated the media with campaign ads and toured the state to defeat Blass in the Democratic primary.[1] McRae ran for reelection in 1994, winning by default after his initial Republican opponent withdrew to accept another office, and the substitution of another candidate was ruled to be in violation of the election statute.[1]
