Lunch Reception with Keisha Lance Bottoms
All eyes are on Georgia. With federal investigations targeting Georgia’s elections, attacks on election officials, and the administration’s relentless efforts to undermine faith in our democracy – in 2020 and again now – governors are our firewalls. This election will decide whether Georgia stands up to these attacks or gives in to them. Keisha will not back down.
