Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr has landed the endorsement of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce.

Carr, who served as commissioner of the state Department of Economic Development before then-Gov. Nathan Deal appointed him attorney general in 2016, is seeking the Republican nomination for a second full term.

“The chamber wishes to thank the attorney general for his efforts to end human trafficking, combating the opioid crisis and strengthening Georgia’s cybersecurity position,” Chris Clark, the chamber’s president and CEO, said in endorsing Carr. “His long-standing relationships with the legal community, and organizations like ours have solidified his resolve to ensure Georgia remains prosperous.”

Carr said the Georgia Chamber of Commerce has been a valuable partner in his efforts to maintain the state’s ranking as the top state in which to do business.
