I am excited about Benson(Emily will help raise tons),not excited about Bottoms though, black, female, politician from Atlanta is just a mistake in Georgia atm, though I sincerely wish it weren’t so

Yeah the current Mayor Andre Dickens would be more viable than her imo. Personally I think the best options are Lucy McBath, Jason Carter, or a wild card option like Sally Yates
Stacy Abrams almost pulled it off, and the state's trends haven't been particularly red over the last eight years. Her weaker performance in 2022 was probably a mix of Kemp's incumbency and her own errors.
Add the prefix "suburban" to Atlanta and you have Lucy McBath who may also be considering and could be a strong candidate.
Umm I know quite a few folks who worked in both the Reed and Bottoms administrations. . She was not a good executive and made a lot of poor decisions. She'd be a terrible statewide candidate.

I'm just hoping Mike Duggan doesn't make the ballot as an Independent, then with Jocelyn Benson as the nominee it will be a MINIMUM rated Lean D!! 💙🇺🇲

Keisha Bottoms has a lot of issues as a statewide candidate that have nothing to do with her gender or race
disagree
I mean i agree with the sentiment that being a black woman may handicap her too, but Bottoms is a bad candidate statewide for other reasons, too

That’s my point
Agree

I wonder if KLB will ultimately run for McBath's seat instead of statewide. Maybe Jerica Richardson runs again,
I am ok with this.. Statewide???.. Nope
