Georgia Law Enforcement Unite Behind Chris Carr for Governor
(Atlanta, GA) – Seventy members of law enforcement from across Georgia announced their endorsement of Attorney General Chris Carr for Governor, citing his proven record of partnering with them to crack down on violent crime, declare war on fentanyl, and address the challenges of mental health and addiction.
“Attorney General Chris Carr has always had our back,” said Sheriff Stacy Williams of Haralson County. “He’s taken the fight head-on against crime and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with us to keep our communities safe. That’s the kind of partner we can count on in the Governor’s Office.”
Sheriff Lenn Wood of Coweta County added: “As Attorney General, Chris Carr doesn’t just talk about public safety – he delivers. He built the Gang Prosecution Unit, took on fentanyl, and understands the mental health and addiction challenges we’re up against. Most importantly, he’s working with us on real solutions. That’s why law enforcement across Georgia trusts him to keep our state strong.”
“I’m honored to have the trust of so many of Georgia’s law enforcement,” said Chris Carr. “These men and women know firsthand what it takes to keep communities safe, and they’ve seen my record in action. Their support sends a clear message: I’m the candidate who will get the job done. As governor, I’ll ensure Georgia remains the toughest state in the nation on crime.”

- Launched Georgia’s first Organized Retail Crime Unit to take down criminal rings stealing from businesses.
