More about Fulton County DA Fani Willis
Willis took office on January 1, 2021, as the first woman to serve as the District Attorney of Fulton County.
She worked in the office she now leads for 17 years under her predecessor, Paul Howard, and then worked as a magistrate judge and as a defense attorney. She defeated Howard in a bitter Democratic primary fight in 2020.
Willis told the Associated Press she'd like to serve three terms as district attorney and then start teaching at her undergraduate alma mater, Howard University in Washington. She started a domestic violence prosecution unit and said if she's elected for a second term, she plans to focus on creating more county resources for victims of those crimes.
For years now, Willis has been investigating the 2020 Georgia election interference case involving Trump and other high-profile co-defendants despite efforts to remove her from the case.
The case has won her fans among Democrats across the country while also making her a target of former President Trump and his allies. She's been criticized by friends and foes alike for a romantic relationship with Nathan Wade, the special prosecutor she hired to lead the case.
Earlier in October, Willis asked the State Court of Appeals to reinstate six criminal charges against Trump and the other co-defendants.
