With 99 percent of the vote counted, Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr was elected to a full four-year term. Carr won 51.82 percent of the vote.

This is Carr's first election victory. He was appointed Georgia Attorney General by Governor Nathan Deal and was sworn in on November 1, 2016.

"This election - my first ever - means a great deal to Joan and me, and it is a testament to the hard work of so many Georgians from across the state who have worked with us since day one on the many initiatives we've begun to protect Georgia," said Carr.

"We thank the many volunteers and supporters who have helped us over these many months.

"As Attorney General, my job is to protect Georgia, and I look forward to making our state stronger and our communities safer by continuing to work together with all Georgians.

"If you like what we've done the last two years, you're going to love the next four!"

Carr built a robust statewide Grassroots Leadership Team that included more than 1,200 Georgians. Carr swept newspaper endorsements in Georgia and also earned the endorsements of the Georgia Fraternal Order of Police, more than 110 Sheriffs and District Attorneys, and the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, along with an extensive list of leaders across the state.
