Willis' message of no one being "above" nor "beneath" the law came as the district attorney is currently under investigation by Republicans in both chambers of the U.S. Congress and two commissions in the Georgia state legislature.
Sens. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Ron Johnson, R-Wis., on Wednesday accused Willis of allegedly misusing federal funds meant to help at-risk youth and gang prevention, but that they were used to purchase computers and "swag."
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio., subpoenaed Willis in February over the accusations of misusing federal funds.

Later in Willis' victory speech, the district attorney said that she was going to celebrate by drinking Grey Goose vodka.
"So, ladies and gentlemen, tonight, every now and then you get to stop and smell the roses," Willis said. "And tonight, we going to stop and smell these roses."
