Democrat Tanya Miller wins race for Georgia's attorney general

The Democratic nominee, state Rep. Tanya Miller will be the next Georgia attorney general, according to the Associated Press. Miller of Atlanta received 44.5% of the vote to beat Republican state Sen. Brian Strickland to replace Chris Carr, who did not seek reelection. She represents House District 62 and chairs the House Democratic Caucus. She has more than two decades of courtroom experience as a prosecutor and assistant district attorney in Fulton County, and she also worked as an attorney for the U.S. Department of Justice. Miller said she would support law enforcement with training and crime-prevention programs, reported the Ledger-Enquirer . She also wants to divert nonviolent, first-time offenders from prison and help formerly incarcerated people find jobs. “When you are the attorney general, your fealty is to the law,” Miller told the Georgia Recorder. Strickland, who was endorsed by Gov. Kemp, represents Senate District 42 and chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee. Strickland said the attorney general should focus on violent criminals, organized crime networks and gangs. “We still have a big gang problem in every corner of our state,” Strickland told the Georgia Recorder. He would also prioritize human trafficking, fentanyl distribution, consumer fraud, identity theft, and scams
