On a special edition of “Closer Look,” host Rose Scott sits down for a one-on-one conversation with Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Keisha Lance Bottoms. Bottoms addresses questions about her tenure as Atlanta mayor, including key decisions made under her leadership. She also reflects on how her four years in office along with her work in the Biden administration are guiding her approach to governing the state if elected as Georgia’s 84th governor.

 

The discussion covers several major issues: expanding resources for Georgia growers and producers, improving access to healthcare for rural communities, and tackling affordability challenges across the state. Bottoms also responds to campaign attacks from her opponent, Republican Rick Jackson, and outlines the communities she is continuing to engage as the midterm election approaches.
