I'm back from maternity leave and covering some new ground at the @ajc. Yes, I'll still be writing about the aftershocks of the Fulton election interference case, but also doing in-depth stories on voting, elections and health care on the ground here in Georgia. Let's connect!

Kudos to @AnnaBower and @lawfare on obtaining and posting many of the Fulton special grand jury transcripts. We started going through them last night and here are some of the first notable tidbits. Much more to come...
