Bottoms Won’t Run for Atlanta Mayor Again

“In a stunning announcement Thursday night, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms (D) told supporters that she will not run for reelection this year,” the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.

“The move is a shocking reversal for Bottoms, a mayor with a rising national profile who had launched her reelection campaign and held a fundraising event featuring President Joe Biden. The decision creates a wide-open mayor’s race this year, and is likely to open the door for a slew of new candidates.”
