Republican Robb Pitts: Failing Fulton County for over 20 years

Since 2005, Republican Robb Pitts has riddled the Fulton County Commission with bad decision after bad decision. His decades-long record shows that he is no longer able to lead in the best interest of Fulton County voters.

Republican Robb’s record:

  • 2023: Republican Robb nominated fellow Republican, Lee Morris, to serve as Chairman of the Fulton County Board of Elections. 

    2023: Republican Robb partially blamed voters for the Fulton County Jail crisis despite his own actions:

    “The voters are at fault in all of this, from my perspective, for electing and reelecting the same people. You get the same results. It’s your fault…”

    2025: Republican Robb did not vote against two Republican nominees to the Fulton County Board of Elections. On Aug. 20, the vote failed 2-2 after Pitts left before the item was heard. One nominee, Julie Adams, had refused to certify 2024 primary results, and the other, Jason Frazier, had sued to purge nearly 2,000 voters ahead of the 2024 election. 

    2026: Republican Robb cut Fulton County elections funding by over $1 MILLION by forcing the county’s elections budget through at the last minute. Just days before the FBI raided the Fulton County Elections hub.

  • Pitts has earned the reputation of being Fulton County’s newest warden. Republican Robb has had a hand in the mismanagement of the Fulton County Jail since 2005.

    2005: Republican Robb began serving on the Board of Commissioners. The first consent order was issued in 2006.

    2026: Republican Robb cut $3.2 MILLION from funds meant to fix the poor conditions that plague the Fulton County Jail. The federal consent decree followed DOJ findings that people in the jail were being held in unconstitutional and unlawful conditions.

    At least 88 people held in the Fulton County Jail have died since 2009.

  • 2023: Republican Robb’s nomination of fellow Republican Lee Morris to the Board of Elections would’ve flipped control from Democrats to Republicans in a county where 73% of its voters went for Biden in 2020.

    Commissioner Dana Barrett claimed the move would put democracy at stake, saying it’s opening ourselves up to the same “nonsense” we saw in 2020.

    In addition, 11 Civil Rights groups sent a letter to commissioners urging them to reject Republican Robb’s Nominee. 

    Under public pressure and request from Lee Morris, Republican Robb dropped his nomination and quickly substituted Patrise Perkins-Hooker. 

    Republican Robb received criticisms for the “secretive and rushed” process that led to replacing his original nomination.

    Republican Robb has created a 4 person conservative majority on the Fulton County Board of Commissioners by teaming up with MAGA republicans. The board has 5 “democrats” yet, Republican Robb chooses to make a MAGA majority that he doesn’t need.
