Summary

  • Keisha Lance Bottoms and Rick Jackson met Tuesday in Doraville for their only statewide televised town hall debate, facing moderators and undecided voters at Assembly Studios.

  • The clash comes with Georgia voters entering the final four weeks before Election Day and public polling showing a close contest.
  • Their only scheduled debate has already sharpened contrasts on the economy, data centers and Donald Trump, with Bottoms attacking Jackson’s Trump ties and Jackson targeting her mayoral record.
