District Attorney Paul Howard came in second in the primary election for his seat on Tuesday, the worst election showing he's had since taking office in 1997.
ATLANTA — Fulton County’s long-time district attorney faces two separate state investigations, but it could be voters who remove him from office.
District Attorney Paul Howard came in second in the primary election for his seat on Tuesday, the worst election showing he’s had since taking office in 1997. He now advances to a runoff with Democratic challenger Fani Willis.
“What you will overwhelmingly see, is that the people of Fulton County, Georgia, they desperately want a change,” Willis said on Wednesday.
Willis once served as the chief assistant to the district attorney under Howard. Their runoff election is August 11.
She told Channel 2 investigative reporter Richard Belcher that she will spend the next two months reminding voters that the county’s top law enforcement official is under a criminal investigation.
Channel 2 and AJC reporters discovered that the city of Atlanta sent $250,000 to the district attorney’s office for crime prevention programs and almost 80 percent of that went into Howard’s paycheck.
Howard in May called the issue an “administrative matter” and said he expects to be exonerated.
“He does what is best for him and what the district attorney should do is what’s for the people. We see that in you stealing $195,000 from black and brown children,” Willis said.

This goofball has lost more votes by showing his stupidity by saying tasers are lethal weapons and two weeks later saying tasers are NOT leathel weapons. This sure ain't the guy I want as district attorney.

She is still a marxist democrat, she will be just as dishonest and tow the line, she will do what she is told. The left has only one agenda, destroy America, china is calling.
