Michael P. Boggs

Michael P. Boggs (born December 28, 1962) is an American lawyer who has served as the chief justice of the Supreme Court of Georgia since 2022.

As of 2021, Boggs along with United States Senators Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff are the only Democratic statewide officeholders in Georgia.

"[3] David Scott, U.S. Representative Georgia's 13th district, criticized the nomination of Boggs because of Boggs' votes in the legislature to retain Confederate insignia in the state flag of Georgia, restrict abortion, and ban same-sex marriage.

[5] On December 30, 2014, retiring Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) revealed that he had been advised in late November by White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough that Boggs would not be renominated in 2015 for confirmation by the 114th Congress.

[6] On November 9, 2016 Governor Nathan Deal appointed three new justices to the Georgia Supreme Court, including Boggs.
