Christopher M. Carr

Christopher Michael Carr[1] (born February 8, 1972)[2][3] is an American lawyer and politician.

[5] He also served on the Board of Advisors for the Atlanta Lawyers Chapter of the Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies.

[6][7][8] In 2019, Carr joined 17 other Republican attorneys general in suing to invalidate the Affordable Care Act (ACA), stating, “We believe the Court will uphold our position that the ACA is unconstitutional.”[9][10] Carr supported legislation in Georgia to revise voting regulations.

[11] Carr was chair of the Republican Attorneys General Association, an organization that sent robocalls on January 6, 2021, urging supporters to march to Washington to dispute the certification of the election results in which Joe Biden won.

[12] Carr resigned as chair of the organization in April 2021 over his opposition to the robocall, saying he had a "fundamental difference of opinion” with others in the organization that began with “vastly opposite views of the significance of the events of January 6.”[13] During his tenure, Carr's office was involved in indicting former member of Georgia's Board of Regents for racketeering,[14] the Paulding County, Georgia, District Attorney for bribery,[15] and a former chief magistrate judge in Pickens County, Georgia, for financial fraud,[16] as well as indictments of three individuals for elder abuse.
