AP News Reported- Bottoms, 55, officially launched her campaign Tuesday, becoming the second well-known Democrat to jump into the 2026 race. State Sen. Jason Esteves of Atlanta announced his campaign in April.
“As we are facing the uncertainty and the anxiety that’s being created in Washington right now, I’m running to be a fighter for Georgia,” Bottoms told The Associated Press on Monday.
“I want to be able to fight and deliver for our communities, whether it’s from expanding Medicaid, to delivering for our small businesses, to making sure that people have a pathway to vocational and career training or college,” she said.
