Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms won’t run for re-election

Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said Thursday that she will not seek re-election this fall.

In a letter, Bottoms, a first-term Democrat, confirmed news she had shared in a call with staff members and allies, which was first reported by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

In the letter, posted to her Twitter account Thursday evening, Bottoms thanked residents and her supporters, highlighting her accomplishments in jobs, housing, public safety and redevelopment. Bottoms said she and her husband “have given thoughtful prayer and consideration” to their next chapter and had decided not to seek another term.

“It is with deep emotions that I hold my head high, and choose not to seek another term as Mayor,” she wrote, adding that she could win re-election but decided against running.

Bottoms, who was elected in 2017, rose to national prominence during the 2024 election cycle as one of Joe Biden’s earliest supporters and an outspoken critic of Republican Gov. Brian Kemp’s decision to reopen Georgia, going toe to toe with him in court over her decision to enforce a mask mandate in Atlanta. She was rumored to have been considered to be Biden’s running mate.

Bottoms was also thrust into the national spotlight during the civil rights upheaval ignited by the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody last May.

The announcement comes days after the reinstatement of the Atlanta police officer charged with murder in the shooting death of Rayshard Brooks in June. The officer will remain on administrative leave.
