October is Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Awareness Month, a time to remember lives lost, support survivors, and turn awareness into action.

Georgia’s reported statistics are a sobering reminder of the urgency of this issue, including domestic violence-related fatalities and the devastating role fi****ms can play.

What can we do?

* Recognize: Honor lives lost and raise awareness through vigils and education.
* Respond: Engage our communities and learn how to recognize warning signs.
* Refer: Connect survivors with trusted advocates, shelters, and support services.

This week, our Cobb Solicitor General’s Office team prepared dinner for families navigating the challenges of domestic violence and sexual assault. Service does not end when the workday ends. We remain committed to helping survivors move forward with dignity, safety, and respect.

I am grateful to our team for showing up with compassion and purpose.

⚾️ Braves baseball + an amazing team = a great night of employee appreciation!

Our team chose a Braves game for this year’s employee appreciation outing, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible people I get to work alongside. They pour their hearts and souls into serving Cobb County, giving back to our community, and helping keep Cobb safe through fair, unbiased and just prosecution.

Thank you to a team that shows up, works hard, gives back and stands with me, even when I’m falling! ❤️⚾️

I’m grateful for each and every one of you!

Truly honored to meet gubernatorial candidate Keisha Lance Bottoms. Her story is humbling and deeply personal. She understands what Georgians need in this moment and has a plan.

9/11 marks a day when we remember the countless lives lost to senseless violence.

I vividly recall that morning in law school, watching the Twin Towers being struck and then collapse before our eyes. We remember the first responders who ran toward danger to save others, the law enforcement officers who worked to protect and restore order, and the brave souls who made final calls and sacrificed their lives in an effort to save others.

And for my generation, 9/11 marked the day we lost a measure of our innocence and naïveté.

Today, we remember, we honor, and we pray for healing for all those whose lives were forever changed that day.

Our Cobb Solicitor General’s Office Lunch & Learn focused on recognizing and responding to suicidal ideation. Ms. Logan, Director of Forensic Sciences at Highland Rivers, shared practical screening strategies and resources for our prosecutors and victim advocates.

With 1,635 su***de deaths and 9,414 medically treated attempts reported in Georgia in 2024, this work matters. We’re grateful for the opportunity to strengthen our partnerships with mental health providers like Highland Rivers and expand pathways to support.
