Chris Carr has served as Georgia's Attorney General since 2016 with a mission of protecting the lives, livelihoods and liberties of all Georgians. He has won statewide election two times – in 2018 and 2022 – based on his strong, conservative record of prosecuting violent crime, keeping the economy open, defending Georgia’s election integrity law, supporting law enforcement, going after fraud and corruption, and fighting back against federal overreach. Chris previously served as Chief of Staff for U.S. Senator Johnny Isakson for six years and as the state’s chief economic development officer under Governor Nathan Deal from November 2013 to November 2016. Under his leadership, the Georgia Department of Economic Development helped to create more than 84,000 jobs representing approximately $14.4 billion in investment and Georgia was named the top state in the nation in which to do business for the very first time.

“Every patient is different. We need to work together and to incorporate the latest advances into our therapeutic recommendations and design individually tailored treatment plans. We treat the patient, not only the disease. It is truly a privilege to be able to meet people during one of the most vulnerable times of their lives, help them fight it, and be there every step of the way on their journey.” -Dr. Bonta
