Atlanta DA who charged officer with murder in the Rayshard Brooks case just lost his reelection bid

Democratic challenger Fani Willis wins runoff election

Voters in Georgia have ousted Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard — who charged two officers with murder in the Rayshard Brooks shooting earlier this summer — by a whopping 45-point margin.

Howard, a 20-plus-year incumbent and the first black district attorney elected in Georgia, lost his post to Democratic challenger Fani Willis in a runoff election Tuesday, WAGA-TV reported. Willis garnered 73% of the vote in a commanding victory over her former boss.

Howard conceded the race late Wednesday night saying, "I came in with pride and I'm leaving with pride," according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Willis vowed to bring "transparency and accountability" to the district attorney's office.

I hope the MSM covers this the way the voters intended them to.

this is what needs to happen across this great nation. You want things to get better? They all need to be ousted. You, We can make it happen! Elections have consequences. Lets take this Nation back, one district, one state at a time if need be. This is not a time to sit it out.

Just the beginning of the end for our corrupt judicial system.

Have you noticed that the winner is a black female democrat? Will she be more fair or less to police?
