After putting herself through law school at Pennsylvania State University, Andrea got her start as a defense attorney before beginning her career as a prosecutor. Previously an Assistant District Attorney in Gwinnett County, Andrea currently serves in one of the largest prosecutorial offices in Georgia as Assistant District Attorney to DA Fani Willis in Fulton County. In all, Andrea has handled over 1,000 cases and 75 jury trials. She has handled child sexual abuse cases, countless domestic violence cases, and she has never lost a single homicide case.
As Gwinnett County’s next District Attorney, Andrea has a plan to get tough on violent gun crimes; advocate for victims who feel left behind; and work with the community to reduce crime– not just pay lip service to criminal justice reform.- A Safer Gwinnett: Violent crime needs to be addressed with experienced leadership. Andrea will focus her team on violent crime and repeat offenders and hold them accountable while utilizing alternative treatment courts for low-level, non-violent offenses.
- Fighting for victims and survivors: Survivors deserve a voice. Andrea will implement a resourceful approach to criminal justice by advancing victim services to ensure survivors have a chance to heal and thrive while determining ways to reintegrate offenders with dignity.
- Accountability with second chances: Justice should not be based on access to resources. Andrea commits to addressing desperate and risky behavior that leads to low level nonviolent crimes by focusing on job readiness, food insecurity, and rising costs of living. Addressing these factors that escalate to becoming a convicted felon and offering low level nonviolent offenders a form of accountability through sentencing alternatives is key to a safer Gwinnett.
As a prosecutor, I know something about accountability. My job has been to hold some of our most violent offenders– murderers, domestic abusers, and sex offenders– accountable for their actions. But accountability goes both ways, and if a prosecutor isn’t doing their job, it’s time to hold them accountable by voting them out.
