The 2022 Georgia Attorney General election was held on November 8, 2022, to elect the Attorney General of Georgia. Incumbent Republican attorney general Christopher M. Carr was appointed to the office on November 1, 2016, following the resignation of Sam Olens to become the president of Kennesaw State University.[1] Carr ran for a second full term in office.[2] Carr won re-election over state senator Jen Jordan by a margin of 5.3 points.
Incumbent Republican Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr faced criticism from former president Donald Trump and other Republican officials for his refusal to pursuit a lawsuit over the disputed results of the 2020 United States presidential election in Georgia.[3] He was faced in the primary by businessman John Gordon, who Trump subsequently endorsed.
