“Together, we will create a

safer, more just Cobb.”

SONYA ALLEN

My name is Sonya Allen, candidate for Cobb County District Attorney.

With over 30 years of legal experience and deep roots here in Cobb County,  I am a committed public servant, proud mother and a fearless advocate for justice. 

As District Attorney for Cobb County, I will bring comprehensive, diverse legal experience and an extensive knowledge of developing legal strategies for complex cases, as well as the administrative, budget management and supervisory experience required to effectively manage one of Georgia’s largest district attorney’s offices. 

Cobb County is my home, and I have a deep connection to this community. A graduate of the University of West Georgia and John Marshall Law School, I currently serve as Deputy District Attorney in the Fulton County District Attorney’s Anti-Corruption Division and am a 30-year veteran of the Cobb County Sheriff’s Office. Throughout my career, I have proven my ability to quickly master the nuances of the many different and diverse areas of one of Georgia’s largest agencies. This paved the way for me to become the first and highest ranking African American in the history of Cobb County law enforcement, opening doors for the next generation of Cobb leadership.

I am experienced in handling high-profile criminal and public corruption cases, interviewing tough witnesses and evaluating evidence for prosecution. I have been involved in the prosecution of hundreds of cases throughout my legal career.

Beyond my legal career, I am an active member of my community, serving as a gymnastics judge for the Georgia High School Association-Varsity Sports and participating on several local volunteer committees and programs throughout Cobb County. I am also am a proud member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated, cherishing the sisterhood and the opportunities it provides to serve and connect with amazing women globally.

To the office of District Attorney, I will bring my deep devotion to Cobb County, a track record of public service and three decades of legal experience.

I look forward to earning your vote and putting my experience to work to create a safer, more just Cobb County.

Safety. Security. Stability.

Sonya Allen has three decades of experience in the criminal justice system,
