Keisha Lance Bottoms is a proven fighter with battle-tested executive experience. She is running for Governor of Georgia to deliver for working families and bring steady leadership to&nbsp;Georgia in the midst of uncertainty and chaos coming from Washington.&nbsp; As Governor, Keisha will bring the strong leadership that Georgia needs during these tumultuous times. She will fight to expand Medicaid so that 300,000 Georgians can get the health care coverage they need and to prevent more hospitals - especially those in rural communities - from shutting their doors. Keisha will work to eliminate income taxes for teachers, crack down on corporate landlords that are buying up houses and making it harder for families to buy a home or afford rent, and she will invest in education so our children have better pathways to success through career training or college.&nbsp; As Mayor of Atlanta, Keisha steered the city through extraordinary challenges, including a cyber attack on city government, civil unrest, the pandemic, along with an unstable president and combative state leadership. She made major investments in affordable housing, delivered historic salary raises for police officers and firefighters, supported small businesses, balanced the budget and never raised property taxes. Keisha also helped make Atlanta a global business destination, welcoming nine Fortune 500 companies who established headquarters in Atlanta, helping the city add $11 billion to its total economic output and attracting $4.5 billion in total capital investment. Keisha is at least a fifth generation Georgian and has served as a judge, city councilwoman, and mayor. She was called to public service to build opportunities for working families like the one she grew up in. Keisha and her husband, Derek, are parents to four children in Atlanta.

<h2>How to handle donations on your website</h2>Run does not process donations directly on our platform, as is standard with most political and advocacy sites. Campaigns are often required to comply with reporting requirements, donation limits, and other regulations, so using a donation processor that specializes in serving campaigns is generally a good idea. Sign up with a donation processor and then on your Pages sidebar, click the Link icon on the Donate page and add the link to your donation page. Some common options for donation processing include:<ul><li><a href="https://secure.actblue.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ActBlue</a></li><li><a href="https://www.campaigndeputy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Campaign Deputy</a> </li><li><a href="https://goodchange.app/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">GoodChange</a></li><li><a href="https://numero.ai/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Numero</a></li></ul>
