Sen. Majority Whip Randy Robertson Releases Statement Encouraging Cooperation from Georgia’s Secretary of State

ATLANTA (January 16, 2026) — Today, Sen. Randy Robertson (R–Cataula) issued a statement urging Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to produce Georgia’s voter registration list for the United States Department of Justice (DOJ):

“When legislators are working to investigate an issue, you would expect that everyone would be on the same page. Unfortunately, Georgia’s Secretary of State has chosen noncompliance over collaboration. One of the most basic expectations of every public official in Georgia, including the Secretary of State, is working together to serve the people of Georgia. Holding office does not change this obligation to respect lawful investigative processes or to provide information when it is properly requested.

SR 563 reinforces the basic expectation of public service by urging our Secretary of State to comply with the DOJ. When federal authorities issue lawful subpoenas or requests as part of an investigation, compliance is a duty. We have an obligation as legislators to shine a light on any wrongdoing, regardless of where it shines or who it shines on.

I’ve spent more than thirty years in law enforcement, where credibility was earned through actions, not statements. Public trust is maintained when leaders address concerns directly and judiciously, leaving no stone unturned. This resolution is consistent with that experience and with my ongoing commitment to accountability, fairness and the rule of law for all. It is my hope that our Secretary of State will reverse course and choose to work for hardworking Georgians instead of himself.”

SR 563, authored by Sen. Majority Whip Randy Robertson, was assigned to the Senate Committee on Ethics, where it awaits further action. Further information on the resolution is available here.
