Judge Holmes said she is honored to serve in her new role.

“I am honored to have the opportunity to continue to serve the people of Cobb County, and I thank Governor Kemp for the trust that he has placed in me,” said Holmes. “I look forward to ensuring Georgians within my jurisdiction remain safe and continue to prosper in our great state.”

Holmes is a native of Valdosta, Georgia. She earned dual bachelor’s degrees in psychology and criminal justice.
