Ken Hodges has dedicated his life to serving the people of Georgia. After
graduating from law school at the University of Georgia, Hodges worked at an
Atlanta law firm for a couple years before deciding to go back to his
hometown Albany, Georgia where he ran as District Attorney in 1996 beating
an incumbent with 65% of the vote.
Ken Hodges served as District Attorney for 12 years and was re-elected in
2000 and 2004 by wide margins. It was in his hometown courthouse where
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.

Ken Hodges is known across the State for his leadership. He served as
President of the Georgia District Attorney’s Association and in 2002 was
given the prestigious honor of being recognized as Georgia’s District
Attorney of the Year. He has also chaired the Prosecuting Attorney’s Council
(PAC), and is a Fellow of the Lawyer’s Foundation of Georgia.
He is a graduate of Leadership Albany and Leadership Georgia, and was on the
Board of Trustees for Leadership Georgia. He has been listed on Georgia
Trend Magazine’s “40 under 40” and the Fulton County Daily Report’s
“Attorneys on the Rise.”

Hodges was born and raised in Albany, Georgia and went on to receive his
bachelor’s degrees in Political Science and Sociology from Emory University
in 1988 and his law degree from the University of Georgia School of Law in
1991. His wife, Melissa, grew up in Gwinnett County and graduated from The
Marist School in Atlanta. She earned her bachelor’s degree from Saint
Mary’s College, Notre Dame, Indiana and worked as a television news anchor
and reporter. The couple was married in 2004 and currently lives in Atlanta
with their daughter.

[6]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.
