EMILYs List Endorses Keisha Lance Bottoms for Governor of Georgia

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, endorsed Keisha Lance Bottoms for governor of Georgia. EMILYs List President Jessica Mackler released the following statement:

“Amidst the uncertainty and chaos coming from Washington, Georgians are looking to elect a governor who can meet uncertainty with strength and purpose and Keisha Lance Bottoms has shown she’s ready to do that. Keisha’s record of service, strength in moments of crisis, and commitment to defending Georgians health care and reproductive rights make her the right leader for this moment. EMILYs List is proud to support Keisha Lance Bottoms in the race for Georgia governor.” 

Keisha Lance Bottoms is a battle-tested leader with deep Georgia roots and a lifelong commitment to public service. A fifth-generation Georgian, Keisha grew up understanding the power of hard work, community, and opportunity, and she has dedicated her career to expanding those opportunities for families across the state. From serving as a judge and city councilwoman to becoming mayor of Atlanta, Keisha has confronted some of the most difficult challenges any leader can face. She led Atlanta through a crippling cyberattack, nationwide civil unrest, a global pandemic, and combative state and federal leadership — all with steadiness, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to her community. Now, she’s running for governor of Georgia to deliver for working families and bring steady leadership to Georgia in the midst of uncertainty and chaos coming from Washington.
