Georgia Democrat candidate for Governor Keisha Lance Bottoms is back on the
campaign trail today. Lance Bottoms joined members of the Georgia AFL-CIO to
celebrate Labor Day. The group recently endorsed Bottoms for governor. The
event honored the contributions Georgia workers have made to the state and
Bottoms used it as an opportunity to discuss her plans to expand Medicaid and
protect workers rights.
We want to take advantage of whatever is left on the table and it's going to
help us cover men and women throughout the state and it will also help us with
our health care system that's teetering on the edge right now because even if
you don't need the Medicaid when you go into an emergency room, many people they
are there because they're not receiving routine health care.
Republican Rick Jackson did not have any public events listed on his website but
on Facebook he posted this Labor Day message quote Georgia believes in the
dignity of work and Georgians prove it every single day by working hard
providing for their families and loved ones and moving our state in the right
direction. They deserve a government that works just as hard as they do.
