In response to Keisha Lance Bottoms’ victory in Georgia’s gubernatorial election, DNC Chair Ken Martin released the following statement:
“Congratulations to Keisha Lance Bottoms, the Democratic Party of Georgia, and all the hard-working organizers who worked to flip this seat from red to blue while electing a Georgia Democrat to the governor’s office for the first time in nearly three decades. As an accomplished city councilmember and mayor who served the public in the White House, Keisha has dedicated her career to fighting for Georgians and delivering for working families across the Peach State. As governor, she will be a steadfast champion for lowering grocery and utility prices, bringing down the cost of housing and childcare, making healthcare more affordable, investing in public education, supporting rural communities, and strengthening small businesses.”
