Career
Robertson was a Law Enforcement Officer before entering politics, and after over thirty years in law enforcement retired from the Muscogee County Sheriff's Office in 2015.
In a 2000 internal investigation by the Muscogee County Sheriff's Office, then Lieutenant Robertson was found to have conducted himself in a way that was "unbecoming of an officer" and "immoral." The investigation stemmed from an extramarital affair with his sister in-law that found Robertson engaged in sexual activity. The investigation further found that Robertson was not on duty at the time the activities took place and nothing occurred within a department vehicle. Despite the internal affairs report, Robertson maintains that in his thirty years with the Muscogee County Sheriff's Office he has never been reprimanded as he was cleared of all accusations.’
Political career
In March 2024, Senate Majority Whip Randy Robertson of Cataula blocked a bill sponsored by State Rep. Scott Holcomb, that would open the door to compensation for wrongfully convicted individuals. Holcomb's measure would have created a panel of appointees, all experts in wrongful convictions or criminal justice, to vet compensation claims while laying out clear guidelines for who qualifies. It also would have required that those who have been exonerated are compensated at a figure between $60,000 and $120,000 per year of wrongful imprisonment. 2]
Robertson, a former sheriff's deputy who led the effort to stop all compensation legislation in Georgia, said he thinks the system has been "hijacked" by organizations such as the Georgia Innocence Project, which uses DNA evidence and research to clear people's names. 3]
Robertson was elected to the Georgia State Senate in 2018 after the seat was vacated by Josh McKoon. In 2020, Robertson qualified for re-election and was not challenged in either the Primary or General election.
