Former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms Announces Run for Governor of Georgia

Nationwide — Keisha Lance Bottoms, who made history as the second African American woman to be mayor of Atlanta, has officially entered the race for governor of Georgia. She announced her candidacy Tuesday morning with a campaign video highlighting her working-class roots, family values, and a sharp critique of former President Donald Trump.

In the video, Bottoms, who was also a senior official in the Biden White House and Democratic National Committee, accuses Trump of harming the economy and jeopardizing Medicare and Social Security. “Donald Trump is a disaster for our economy and our country,” she says, pledging to expand Medicaid in Georgia, support educators and first responders, tackle rising housing costs caused by corporate landlords, and invest in career training and college pathways for youth.
