(Atlanta) – Keisha Lance Bottoms officially announced her candidacy to become the 60th Mayor of Atlanta. On the steps of City Hall, Bottoms commemorated her bid for Atlanta’s most prestigious elected seat.
“I am equally excited to serve the communities in Bankhead and Buckhead,” Bottoms said to constituents who gathered at City Hall. “Each of our communities is unique and deserve to be uplifted according to their individual needs”.
As Atlanta’s next Mayor, Bottoms vows to:
* Ensure that every child has the same access to quality education

* Create the most transparent and ethical administration in the nation
As City Councilmember for District 11, Bottoms has worked diligently and has led the increase of the City’s minimum wage to $15 per hour and championed the creation of a Displacement Free Zone that collects funds for long-term residents to help with the rising costs of property taxes and rent. She also led the $350 million sale of Turner Field to Georgia State and voted YES to increase the number of police officers in the city.
