Raffensperger Names Fuchs To Serve As Deputy Secretary Of State

Georgia Secretary of State-elect Brad Raffensperger has appointed Jordan Fuchs to serve as his deputy secretary of state. This position, Raffensperger said, is "one of the most important non-elected positions" in the state, as the office is responsible for elections, corporation registrations, business and occupational licensing and securities.

Fuchs, who managed Raffensperger's campaigns for the state legislature and the office of secretary of state, is "fully dedicated to achieving the goals outlined in the campaign," the Republican said.

"I have watched Jordan thrive in the high pressure and highly visible role leading a large organization," Raffensperger added. "I have the utmost confidence that she can successfully direct the efforts of this office, and achieve the goals upon which I campaigned. I am confident she will work hard for the people of Georgia."

Before joining Raffensperger's campaign, Fuchs served as vice president of Landmark Communications, an Alpharetta-based public relations and political consulting firm. Prior to that, she worked in Washington, D.C., in Congress and U.S. Foreign Policy Program with the Council on Foreign Relations. She also worked on Capitol Hill in the office of U.S. Representative Rob Woodall.

Fuchs earned a B.A.J. in public relations from the Henry Grady School of Journalism and a bachelor's degree in political science from the University of Georgia.

"I am thankful and excited for the opportunity to serve the people of Georgia," said Fuchs. "We have many challenges ahead, and we are building a team that can meet those challenges head-on. I believe that all Georgians will be proud of the team that will help us continue to be the best state in the nation in which to do business, raise a family, and build communities of which we can all be proud."

Raffensperger will be sworn in to office Jan. 14, 2019, and Fuchs will assume the duties of deputy secretary of state on that date.
