Political career

In the Georgia House, she served on the Education, Human Relations & Aging, Children & Youth and Appropriations Committees (Health Sub-Committee). Harrell chose to not seek re-election to the Georgia House of Representatives in 2004 due to redistricting issues. The maps passed by the Georgia legislature in 2001 were thrown out and redrawn by the Court, blind of incumbent's addresses. Her district changed so massively geographically that she decided not to seek re-election.

Harrell explored running in the 2017 special election to represent Georgia's 6th congressional district in the United States House of Representatives[1] but ultimately decided not to file for the seat.[2]

Harrell is currently running for the 40th district seat in the Georgia Senate in the 2018 election.[3]
