https://news.yahoo.com/former-atlanta-mayor-set-join-020023392.htmlFormer Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms has accepted a position to serve as a senior aide in President Joe Bidens Administration, Axios reported.
Bottoms will replace Cedric Richmond, who served as director of the White House Office of Public Engagement.
In taking over for Richmond, Bottoms will be tasked with advancing the presidents agenda, while convincing party leaders the Biden Administrations approach is the path leading to the best possible outcomes for the Democratic Party.
Bottoms, the second Black woman to lead Atlanta, was first elected in 2017, beating then-Atlanta City Councilwoman Mary Norwood after the election went into a runoff.
