Hodges stood at the prosecutor's table again and again helping to protect
his community.
Ken Hodges has argued in front of the Georgia Court of Appeals and the
Georgia Supreme Court and supervised a staff of fifty individuals fighting
for civil and criminal justice while always remaining fiscally responsible
with taxpayer dollars.

[5]Hodges starts general election run for Georgia Attorney General
WALB News 10 - July 21, 2010
ALBANY, GA (WALB) –Former Dougherty District Attorney Ken Hodges is now
focusing on the general election after a runaway win in the Democratic
primary for Attorney General.
And if that primary was any indication, you can expect a gloves off battle
between Hodges and the Republican nominee, either former Cobb County
Commission Chairman Sam Olens or Preston W. Smith. They will be in a runoff.
Hodges says he will again stress his experience as a prosecutor and law
enforcer, saying Georgians deserve more than a career politician who has
never prosecuted criminals.
Hodges said "Somebody who takes on corruption under the gold dome. Somebody
who is going to take on predatory lending. And make sure that unnecessary
foreclosures aren't happening. Somebody that is going to stand up for
families."
With Georgia now a Republican state, Hodges is counting on a lot of
cross-over votes.
