Georgia Democratic Gubernatorial Candidates Campaign in Savannah, Augusta

Democratic candidates for Georgia governor, Keisha Lance Bottoms and Jason Esteves, are actively campaigning across the state in anticipation of the November 2026 election. Bottoms, the former Atlanta mayor, recently visited Savannah with Mayor Van Johnson as part of her “Standing Up for Georgia” tour, where they toured local small businesses including Diaspora Marketplace and Kim’s Cafe and held a community meet-and-greet at Temple of Glory Community Church. Esteves, a state senator, campaigned in Augusta emphasizing the need for new leadership focused on affordability, investment in families, and community improvement, highlighting his background as a small business owner. Both candidates are engaging directly with voters to discuss their plans for making Georgia more affordable and safer, with Bottoms focusing on statewide listening tours and Esteves promoting his personal story of perseverance. These efforts underscore the competitive Democratic primary as they seek to challenge the incumbent leadership. The election is set for November 3, 2026.
