Bottoms forms gubernatorial campaign committee [Georgia]

ATLANTA – Former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms is forming an exploratory committee ahead of a potential run for governor next year.

“I am honored by the encouragement I have received as I considered running for governor,” Bottoms wrote in a prepared statement released Monday.

“I am taking an important administrative step in this journey by filing necessary paperwork to establish a campaign committee. I look forward to making an announcement in the coming weeks.”

Bottoms was elected mayor of Atlanta in 2017 but decided not to seek reelection four years later. Instead, the Democrat joined the administration of then-President Joe Biden in 2022 as a senior advisor.

Reports surfaced soon after Republican President Donald Trump took office in January that he had fired Bottoms. She responded that the president couldn’t fire her from a job that she had already quit.

I always get her mixed up with the DC mayor Muriel Bowser. Same type of mental disorder and DEI hire. Throw Stacey Abrams in there as well.

Didn’t she just get kicked out of one of those hidden Democrat advisory committees in Washington along with Susan Rice? There is no end to the grift.

Didn’t Bottoms all but destroyed Atlanta? She’ll be the nail in the coffin if elected governor.

Democrat mayors have been destroying Atlanta for years, but she did seem to advance the decay by advocating that criminals go free and police have their hands tied.

And then as an reward she was given a position as an “advisor” to the Biden administration.

Keisha Lance Bottoms? Seriously? The jokes right themselves. She’ll never beat Abrams the Pancake Big Stack in a primary. Stacy has $2.5 billion bucks stashed somewhere.

Is Keisha Lance Bottoms' family prone to visiting doctors because of boils on their butts?

Who is running as a Republican?
This clown will split the dim vote with Abrams.
