Biography
Robert Brian Strickland was born on October 26, 1983, in Henry County, Georgia, and has built his career around the community he grew up in. He earned his B.B.A. in economics from Valdosta State University and his J.D. from Florida Coastal School of Law, then returned home to practice and eventually serve in public office — the kind of homegrown, locally-rooted path conservatives point to as a model for representative government. Strickland entered the Georgia House of Representatives in 2013, representing the 111th district, and moved to the Georgia Senate in 2018, winning a special election for the 17th district (now the 42nd, after 2023 redistricting). His colleagues elected him Senate Administration Floor Leader from 2018 to 2020 — an early sign of the trust he built within the chamber's Republican leadership. Today he chairs the powerful Senate Judiciary Committee and sits on Public Safety, Banking and Financial Institutions, Children and Families, Appropriations, Health and Human Services, and Ethics. Strickland is now running in the 2026 Republican primary for Georgia Attorney General, he is a battle-tested conservative ready to take his law-and-order, limited-government record statewide.
Policy Positions
Crime and public safety
Strickland says he'd expand gang and drug task forces to coordinate crackdowns on violent crime statewide, and he's made fighting human trafficking a signature issue, pledging to build on outgoing AG Chris Carr's efforts and push tougher penalties for traffickers.
Second Amendment rights
He points to his role in passing Georgia's Constitutional Carry law as evidence he'll defend gun rights as AG, and has said he'd fight to protect the state's gun laws against what he characterizes as federal overreach.
Election integrity and defending GOP-passed laws
Strickland has pledged to aggressively defend Georgia's election laws in court, and more broadly says he'd use the AG's office to protect laws Republicans have passed on elections, abortion, and immigration from legal challenges by outside advocacy groups.
