Mayor's Crisis Management Style: Stand There, Look Concerned

Keisha Lance Bottoms is a great candidate if you are a Georgian relying on the government to be your daddy. Together, we can add fuel to the fires burning Atlanta. Look at it like Stacey Abrams 2.0.


Bottoms' Legacy: A City in Crisis She Couldn't Control
Keisha Lance Bottoms is Stacey Abrams 2.0 — a candidate who believes government should be your daddy while Atlanta burns. During her four years as mayor, violent crime spiked, she faced a $37,000 ethics fine for campaign finance violations, she used taxpayer funds for self-promotional mailers, and she allegedly benefited from pay-to-play schemes with contractors who later won lucrative city contracts. Georgia doesn't need another failed leader promoting government dependency — it needs real solutions to the problems Bottoms left behind.

How Can KLB Let You Down???
Handling of Crime and Civil Unrest
- The "Covid Crime Wave": Critics frequently point to a severe spike in violent crime during her term, during which Atlanta homicides rose by over 58%. Opponents brand her approach as "soft on crime" and blame her policies for deteriorating street safety. [1, 2]
- 2020 Riots and Civil Unrest: Conservative challengers heavily criticize her handling of the 2020 protests, particularly the unrest surrounding the burning of a local Wendy's. Opponents allege she failed to support her own police department and police chief, allowing chaos to overtake metro streets. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
- Left-Wing Criticism: Conversely, progressive anti-racist activists argue she let the community down from the opposite direction, criticizing her for increasing police budgets to $200 million and enforcing strict curfews that led to protester arrests. [1]
Governance and Ethics Scrutiny
- Abrupt Departure from Office: Opponents heavily capitalize on her 2021 decision not to seek a second mayoral term. Republican attack ads characterize the move as "quitting on the city" during a period of peak crisis. [1, 2, 3]
- Pay-to-Play Allegations: During her gubernatorial bid, Fox News reported on emerging ethics scrutiny. Opponents raise questions over unapproved city contracts awarded to a firm called Con-Real, alleging a pay-to-play scheme. [1]
- Misuse of Public Funds: Critics have flagged questionable municipal spending during her administration, including thousands of dollars utilized for luxury limousine services and taxpayer-funded airfare for her husband's trip to the Super Bowl. [1]
