Keisha Lance Bottoms’ Vision for Georgia’s Future

Keisha Lance Bottoms, the former mayor of Atlanta, has officially launched her campaign for Governor of Georgia. During a lively and candid interview on Ryan Cameron Uncensored, Bottoms shared her motivations for re-entering the political spotlight and her vision for the state.

Reflecting on her decision to run, Bottoms explained that the turning point came last November as she contemplated the needs of Georgians in the current political climate. “I woke up wondering what this moment called for and how I could be of service,” she said. Now, as a gubernatorial candidate, she aims to address key issues affecting communities statewide, including public safety, education, healthcare, and economic development.

Bottoms highlighted her desire to ensure equitable access to quality schools, safe neighborhoods, job opportunities, and healthcare facilities. Her campaign platform includes addressing the state’s teacher shortage by proposing the elimination of state income taxes for educators and advocating for Medicaid expansion, especially in underserved areas. Economic support for small businesses, which employ nearly half the state’s workforce, is another crucial pillar of her agenda.

Despite her past experiences as the mayor of Atlanta and a senior advisor in the White House, Bottoms emphasized that her campaign is about the future, not just her record. She stressed the importance of building a coalition across racial and political lines, aiming to earn the trust of Democrats, independents, and undecided voters alike.

On her departure from politics, she candidly shared that the decision was rooted in family priorities and self-reflection following a tumultuous mayoral term marked by the pandemic and social unrest. Now, entering “a different season,” Bottoms is ready to serve again.

For voters and supporters alike, she urged engagement, asking them to join her campaign efforts via KeishaforGovernor.com.
