AJC: “State investigators are being urged to probe whether Republican Senate hopeful Herschel Walker violated the law by receiving a tax break on his Texas home meant for primary residents of that state even as he runs for federal office in Georgia.”

Following a new complaint sent to the Georgia Bureau of Investigations and the Georgia Attorney General’s office alleging potential violations of Georgia Election Code by Republican U.S. Senate nominee Herschel Walker, Congresswoman Nikema Williams, Chairwoman of the Democratic Party of Georgia, released the following statement:

“The Georgia Bureau of Investigations and the Georgia Attorney General’s office must immediately investigate whether Herschel Walker lied about being a Georgia resident. Georgians deserve answers, and Walker must be held accountable for his pattern of lies and disturbing conduct. This is yet another reminder that Walker lacks both the competence and character to be our U.S. Senator.”
