Keisha Bottoms (Democratic Party) is running for election for Governor of Georgia. She declared candidacy for the Democratic primary scheduled on May 19, 2026.[source]

Bottoms was the Mayor of Atlanta in Georgia. She assumed office on January 2, 2018. She left office on January 3, 2022.

Bottoms was sworn in on January 2, 2018.[1] Mayoral elections in Atlanta are nonpartisan. Bottoms is affiliated with the Democratic Party.[2][3]

She was a member of the Atlanta City Council in Georgia, representing District 11 from 2010 to 2017.[4]

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Bottoms criticized Gov. Brian Kemp's (R) reopening plan for the state and released her own reopening recommendations for Atlanta. Also in 2020, Bottoms issued administrative orders related to policing following the deaths of George Floyd in Minneapolis and Rayshard Brooks in Atlanta. Read more below.

In her first year as mayor, Bottoms signed an executive order to stop accepting detainees from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Learn more below.

On June 15, 2022, President Joe Biden (D) announced he would appoint Bottoms to serve as senior advisor to the president for public engagement.[5] The White House announced she would be resigning from the position in February 2023.[6]

Biography

Bottoms earned her bachelor's degree from Florida A&M University. She later received her J.D. from Georgia State University. At the time of the 2017 mayoral election, Bottoms was an attorney in private practice. She previously served as the executive director of the Atlanta and Fulton County Recreation Authority.[7]

2026 battleground election

Ballotpedia identified the May 19, 2026, Democratic primary as a battleground election. The summary below is from our coverage of this election, found here.

Seven candidates are running in the Democratic Party primary for governor on May 19, 2026. Four candidates—Keisha Bottoms, Geoff Duncan, Jason Esteves, and Michael Thurmond—lead in polling, fundraising, and media coverage ahead of the primary.

Roy Barnes (D) (1998) was the last Democrat elected governor in the state.[8] The Current's Craig Nelson wrote that at a January 8, 2026, forum, "The candidates hoping to help end that ignominious streak ... gained needed exposure outside the capitol Atlanta, even as most voters are still paying no attention to the race and few even know who they are."[9]

Bottoms was the Mayor of Atlanta from 2018 to 2022.[10] She was also a senior adviser to former President Joe Biden (D) and a member of the Atlanta City Council.[11][12] According to her campaign website, Bottoms is running for governor "to deliver for working families and bring steady leadership to Georgia in the midst of uncertainty and chaos coming from Washington."[12]

In an interview with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Bottoms said her goals as governor would include expanding Medicaid, improving public education, eliminating state income taxes for teachers, offering free technical and community college, and helping small businesses.[13]

Duncan was a Republican lieutenant governor from 2019 to 2023. On August 5, 2025, he announced in an op-ed that he was switching to the Democratic Party, stating, "My decision was centered around my daily struggle to love my neighbor, as a Republican."[14] Duncan told Axios, "And quite honestly, I'm the only Democrat in this race that can beat a Republican because I've got Democrats, independents and disgusted Republicans that will show up and vote for me."[15]

Duncan's campaign website stated, "As governor, Geoff will fight for Georgia families in all 159 counties — bringing down the cost of childcare, healthcare, and housing while ensuring our state rejects extremism and embraces the values of fairness, opportunity, and love thy neighbor."[16]

Esteves was a public school teacher, lawyer, and Georgia state senator.[17] He was also a member of the Atlanta Public Schools school board.[18] Esteves said, "I’m running for Governor to make Georgia the number one place to work, start a business, and raise a family."[19]

Esteves' campaign website said his priorities included lowering the cost of living, expanding access to healthcare, investing in small businesses, increasing public education funding, and overturning Georgia's abortion ban.[20]

Thurmond is a former DeKalb County executive, state representative, state labor commissioner, and interim DeKalb County School district superintendent.[21] In a statement announcing his candidacy, Thurmond said, "I’m running for Governor to fight for working families, protect and expand access to healthcare, and build an education system that creates multiple pathways to success."[22]

Thurmond is running on his public service record. According to his campaign website, "Today, Mike Thurmond is ready to add a new chapter to Georgia’s story as our next governor. At a time of rising costs and declining trust Mike is exactly what our state needs to grow faster, stronger, safer and more equitable."[23]

Olu Brown, Derrick Jackson, and Ruwa Romman are also running.

Polls

See also: Ballotpedia's approach to covering polls

Polls are conducted with a variety of methodologies and have margins of error or credibility intervals.[24] The Pew Research Center wrote, "A margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points at the 95% confidence level means that if we fielded the same survey 100 times, we would expect the result to be within 3 percentage points of the true population value 95 of those times."[25] For tips on reading polls from FiveThirtyEight, click here.

Race ratings

See also: Race rating definitions and methods

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

  • Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
  • Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
  • Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[26]
  • Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[27][28][29]

Campaign website

Bottoms' campaign website stated the following:

As Governor, Keisha will bring the strong leadership that Georgia needs during these tumultuous times. She will fight to expand Medicaid so that 300,000 Georgians can get the health care coverage they need and to prevent more hospitals - especially those in rural communities - from shutting their doors. Keisha will work to eliminate income taxes for teachers, crack down on corporate landlords that are buying up houses and making it harder for families to buy a home or afford rent, and she will invest in education so our children have better pathways to success through career training or college.

On July 6, 2020, Bottoms announced on Twitter that she had tested positive for coronavirus but did not have symptoms.[37]


COVID-19 response

See also: Government responses to and political effects of the coronavirus pandemic, 2020 (Georgia)

Bottoms issued a stay-at-home order for Atlanta on March 23, 2020.[38] Gov. Brian Kemp issued a statewide stay-at-home order effective April 3. His order superseded any local orders. It expired April 30.[39]

Kemp announced his reopening plan on April 20, 2020. Municipalities could not implement more or less restrictive measures than the statewide plan.[40] Bottoms encouraged people in Atlanta to continue to stay home and formed the Advisory Council for Reopening the City of Atlanta.[41]

Bottoms wrote the following in an op-ed in The Atlantic on April 30:[42]

As the mayor of Georgia’s largest city, I expressed opposition to Governor Brian Kemp’s recent order allowing certain businesses—dine-in restaurants, gyms, hair and nail salons, barbershops, tattoo parlors and bowling alleys—to reopen before health experts say doing so is safe. I hope the day for Atlanta to endorse such a move will come soon, but it is not here yet.

Reopening the state and relaxing social-distancing measures now is irresponsible and could even be deadly. Our hospitals may not be stretched to capacity, but that does not mean we should work to fill the vacant beds. I strongly believe that our health-care system is not overwhelmed because we have been socially distancing. And while staying at home may be inconvenient for many people, there is nothing essential about going to a bowling alley during a pandemic. We need to continue to do whatever it takes to keep the number of cases from rising.[36]

On May 21, Bottoms released a five-phase plan for reopening businesses and resuming activities in Atlanta. Compliance with phases and guidelines that deviated from the statewide plan was voluntary.[43]

Demonstrations, protests, and curfews following the deaths of George Floyd and Rayshard Brooks

See also: Events following the death of George Floyd and responses in select cities from May 29-31, 2020

Bottoms was mayor of Atlanta during the weekend of May 29-31, 2020, when events and activity took place in cities across the U.S. following the death of George Floyd. Events in Atlanta, Georgia, began on Friday, May 29, 2020, at Centennial Park.[44] That night, Gov. Brian Kemp (R) activated the Georgia National Guard at the request of Mayor Keisha Bottoms (D).[44] On May 30, Bottoms issued a curfew from 9:00 p.m. to sunrise that extended through the weekend.[45]

In Atlanta on June 12, 2020, Rayshard Brooks, a black man, died after Garret Rolfe, a white officer, shot him. Officers responded to a complaint about a man—Brooks—sleeping in his car at a Wendy's restaurant. Brooks took a breathalyzer test and was reportedly above the legal limit. A struggle ensued when officers tried to put Brooks in handcuffs, and Brooks obtained one of the officer's tasers and began running. Brooks pointed the taser over his shoulder, and Rolfe shot him in the back.[52][53]

On June 16, Bottoms issued two administrative orders related to policing. One order included "requiring officers to intervene when seeing another officer using force that is beyond what is reasonable under the circumstances" and applying "de-escalation techniques to gain voluntary compliance and [using] only the amount of objectively reasonable force necessary." The other order directed city officials to work with experts in policing techniques to develop recommendations for Bottoms around "what situations are appropriate for police to respond to, how police officers are trained, and how to reduce unnecessary interactions with the police."[54]

Bottoms ends cooperation with ICE

See also: Sanctuary jurisdictions

On September 6, 2018, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Bottoms signed an executive order directing the chief of the city Department of Corrections to stop accepting immigration and customs enforcement detainees. The order also instructed the corrections chief to formally request that the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) transfer detainees out of Atlanta as soon as possible.[55]

In a press release, Bottoms attributed the order to opposition to the separation of children from parents crossing the border illegally. She said, "As we work to achieve our vision of an Atlanta that is welcoming and inclusive, with equal opportunity for all, it is untenable for our City to be complicit in the inhumane immigration policies that have led to the separation of hundreds of families at the United States southern border."[55] Click here for more information.

Opponents of Bottoms' order said cooperating with ICE was a matter of public safety. They argued that noncooperation put officers and communities at risk.[56][57]

Bottoms asks cabinet to resign

On April 9, 2018, Bottoms asked her entire cabinet of 35 officials to resign by the end of the day, according to the The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Bottoms initially said she would decide whose resignations to accept or decline by the end of the week.[58] On April 10, Bottoms said she would decide in several weeks. At a press conference, she said, "It is important for me to establish my team, and I think that it's important for the public to know that the team going forward is a team that I selected, not inherited."[59]

City government in Atlanta

The city of Atlanta utilizes a strong mayor and city council system. In this form of municipal government, the city council serves as the city's primary legislative body while the mayor serves as the city's chief executive.[60]

Mayor

The mayor serves as the city's chief executive and is responsible for proposing a budget, signing legislation into law, appointing departmental directors and overseeing the city's day-to-day operations. The mayor also represents the city on the state, national and international levels.[61]

City council

The Atlanta City Council is the city's primary legislative body. It is responsible for adopting the city budget, approving mayoral appointees, levying taxes, and making or amending city laws, policies and ordinances. A council president, who is elected by the city at-large, presides over council meetings.[60]

Membership

See also: List of current city council officials of the top 100 cities in the United States

The Atlanta City Council is made up of 16 members, including a council president. Twelve members are elected by the city's 12 districts, while three other members and the council president are elected at large.[60]

A current list of council members can be found here.
