ATLANTA - The race to become Georgia’s next attorney general is beginning to take shape, with two Republican lawmakers officially in the running to replace Attorney General Chris Carr.

What we know:

Carr, who is not seeking reelection as he pursues a bid for governor in 2026, leaves an open seat that is drawing early interest. On Tuesday, State Sen. Brian Strickland launched his campaign during an event at Liberty Plaza in Atlanta.

Strickland, a McDonough attorney who has served in the state Senate since 2018, highlighted his record on conservative policies, including support for the "heartbeat bill," constitutional carry, and mental health reform. Standing alongside his wife, Lindsey, he told reporters he would work to uphold Georgia’s conservative values if elected.
