A Republican lawyer with ties to the Trump administration is challenging Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis in the upcoming election. Courtney Kramer, who previously interned in the White House counsel's office during Donald Trump's presidency, is the first Republican candidate for district attorney in Fulton County since 2000.
Fulton County, a Democratic stronghold in Georgia and home to a significant portion of the state's electorate, has been under Willis's leadership since January 2021. Willis gained national attention for her investigation into Trump's alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia.
