Sen. Brian Strickland Enters Race to Succeed Georgia's AG Chris Carr

On Tuesday at Liberty Plaza in Atlanta, State Senator Brian Strickland officially announced his bid for Georgia's attorney general position, aiming to succeed Chris Carr, who plans to run for governor in 2026.
With Chris Carr opting not to run for reelection, the attorney general seat is now open, prompting early interest from candidates. State Senator Brian Strickland is anticipated to compete against former Senate majority leader Bill Cowsert for the Republican nomination.
Strickland, a McDonough-based attorney and state senator since 2018, leads the influential Senate Judiciary Committee and advocates for conservative initiatives such as Georgia’s strict abortion restrictions, expanded gun rights without permits, and comprehensive reforms aimed at improving mental health services.
Strickland emphasized his commitment to safeguarding Georgia's core values and vowed to defend conservative laws against legal challenges from liberal groups, highlighting his history of tough, successful battles.
The race reflects a broader effort to maintain Republican policy achievements amid legal challenges, with Strickland promising aggressive action on crime and support for law enforcement if elected attorney general.
