ATLANTA, Ga. — Georgia Conservation Voters (GCV) today announced its endorsement of Keisha Lance Bottoms for Governor, Tanya F. Miller for Attorney General, and Shelia Edwards for Public Service Commission, District 5, citing each candidate’s demonstrated commitment to protecting Georgia’s natural resources, advancing clean energy, and ensuring every Georgian has access to a healthier, more sustainable future.
The endorsements come at a pivotal moment for Georgia, as the state faces rising energy costs, increasing climate-related challenges, and continued growth that demands investments in resilient infrastructure, clean energy, and environmental protections.
“Georgia voters deserve leaders who understand that a healthy environment and a strong economy go hand in hand,” said Perrin Bostic, Georgia Conservation Voters’ Elections Director. “These candidates recognize that protecting our air and water, expanding affordable clean energy, and holding powerful interests accountable are essential to building a prosperous future for every Georgian. We are proud to endorse their campaigns.”
Keisha Lance Bottoms for Governor
As Governor, Keisha Lance Bottoms will have the opportunity to shape Georgia’s energy future, protect the state’s natural resources, strengthen climate resilience, and support policies that create good-paying clean energy jobs while lowering costs for families and businesses.
GCV is endorsing Bottoms because of her commitment to advancing clean energy, addressing the impacts of climate change, protecting Georgia’s public lands and waterways, and ensuring that every community benefits from a healthier environment.
Tanya F. Miller for Attorney General
The Attorney General plays a critical role in defending environmental laws, protecting consumers, and ensuring that state agencies uphold the laws that safeguard public health and Georgia’s natural resources.
GCV is proud to endorse Tanya F. Miller because of her commitment to the rule of law, environmental justice, consumer protection, and ensuring that every Georgian has access to clean air, clean water, and healthy communities.
