Democrat Makia Metzger is seeking reelection as Cobb County solicitor general in the Nov. 3, 2026, election. Her campaign website identifies her as the incumbent, first elected in 2022.
Metzger’s background includes prosecutorial work and a law degree from the University of Georgia. Her campaign emphasizes public safety, appropriate second chances and efficient case handling.
Prosecution and community services
Metzger says her office has updated technology, created a trauma-informed workspace for crime victims and expanded public-safety education. She describes prosecution with compassion and efficiency as a priority.
The campaign also highlights prosecutor and law-enforcement training, town halls, and outreach on scams, impaired driving and crime prevention. These are campaign descriptions of her record, rather than independently measured reductions in crime or case-processing times.
Authority and local effects
The solicitor general prosecutes misdemeanors within the office’s jurisdiction. The position is distinct from the district attorney’s felony-prosecution role and does not independently set criminal statutes or impose sentences.
Administrative improvements and outreach can affect how defendants, victims and residents interact with the justice system. Funding, staffing and court coordination constrain what the office can implement.
The campaign material reviewed does not provide a complete new implementation budget, a detailed financing plan for expanded services or quantified taxpayer savings.
The East Cobb Beacon did not receive a direct questionnaire response from the candidate and does not endorse candidates.
