The DNC congratulates Georgia's Democratic gubernatorial nominee, Keisha Lance Bottoms, and all the Democratic candidates who clinched victory last night and will appear on the ballot in November.
Across Georgia, Democratic voters backed candidates like former Mayor Bottoms who are focused on lowering costs, protecting healthcare, and fighting for Georgia's working families. Bottoms will be a governor for every Georgian, which is why Democrats are fired up to help her flip this critical office blue.
In response to Bottoms' victory, DNC Chair Ken Martin released the following statement:
"Keisha Lance Bottoms is a battle-tested leader who will deliver for all of Georgia by expanding Medicaid, investing in education, bringing down the cost of housing, and protecting Georgians' rights. While Trump's toxic agenda devastates Georgia, Bottoms will work to bring relief from Republicans' sky-high costs, chaos, and corruption. Democrats have clear momentum on our side, and the DNC is ready to help organize and mobilize voters for Bottoms to flip the governor's mansion blue this November."
