Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms recently spoke with “Closer Look” show host Rose Scott for an exclusive conversation to discuss the backstory of her decision not to seek reelection. During the two-part interview that took place at the Cascade Springs Nature Preserve in southwest Atlanta and outside of Bottoms’ late grandparents' home, Bottoms reflects on her first 100 days in office and leading Georgia’s capital city amid a pandemic and social justice movement. During the second half of the conversation, Bottoms reflects on the many lessons she’s learned during her time in office and shares why she’s at peace with leaving her post after her first term.
