Tonight, Georgia voters decisively elected Keisha Lance Bottoms as our Democratic nominee for governor. This comes after months of running a positive campaign focused on the issues that matter most to Georgians, including lowering costs, expanding healthcare, protecting freedoms, and growing our economy.
In response, Democratic Party of Georgia Chair Charlie Bailey released the following statement:
“Keisha Lance Bottoms will be an outstanding governor who will fight for all Georgians by working to bring down costs, finally expanding Medicaid and protecting Georgians’ most fundamental freedoms. Keisha is a battle-tested, proven executive with a record of achievement in Atlanta – helping bring in new jobs, support small business, and build more affordable housing. The contrast in the governor’s race could not be more stark: while Burt Jones and Rick Jackson do whatever Donald Trump tells them to do, Keisha is a leader who will never be afraid to stand up and fight for Georgia. While a fractured Georgia GOP is heading for four more weeks of a nasty, divisive and bruising runoff, Georgia Democrats are united, fired up like never before, and ready to send Keisha to the Governor’s Mansion this November.”
