From former Atlanta City Hall officials to some of Georgia’s best-known business and entertainment leaders, Gov.-elect Keisha Lance Bottoms has assembled a team to help prepare for her move into the governor’s office.
Her team will be made up of “a group of distinguished civic, business and public-sector leaders tasked with preparing her administration to begin delivering results on day one,” her team said in a press release.
Keisha Lance Bottoms makes history, Jon Ossoff holds his Senate seat, Democrats flip the state House. Here’s how Georgia’s balance of power shifted overnight.
According to state election returns, the political shift follows a multimillion-dollar campaign focused on rising electricity costs and the rapid expansion of energy-intensive data centers across the state.
Democrats in Georgia rode the blue wave Tuesday as the party swept statewide offices, including wins for Governor-elect Keisha Lance Bottoms and Sen. Jon Ossoff.
At Frederick Douglass High School in Atlanta, one day after the election, students at the school where Bottoms graduated from looked to the unprecedented win as inspiration.
