ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) — From former Atlanta City Hall officials to some of Georgia’s best-known business and entertainment leaders, Gov.-elect Keisha Lance Bottoms has assembled a team to help prepare for her move into the governor’s office.

The group includes Home Depot co-founder Arthur Blank, filmmaker and studio owner Tyler Perry and former state Sen. Jason Carter, as well as several people who worked with Bottoms during her tenure as Atlanta mayor.

Bottoms announced the team last week as she discussed the transition, which she is calling “Georgia’s Promise.” She said the work would begin before her inauguration.

“Our goal is simple: to be ready to govern on day one,” she said.

Here is a look at the members named in Atlanta News First’s initial report.

Former Atlanta officials and advisers

Carmen Chubb served as Bottoms’ chief of staff when Bottoms was mayor of Atlanta. She is among several members of the transition team who worked in her city administration.

John King was Atlanta’s chief operating officer during Bottoms’ tenure. He is named alongside another former city chief operating officer, Richard Cox, who is also a senior vice president of airport customer service at Delta Air Lines.

Vicky Palmer, a retired Coca-Cola Enterprises executive, chaired Bottoms’ mayoral transition. She will now be involved in the governor-elect’s transition as well.

Rashad Taylor is a former Georgia state representative who also served as the first leader of Atlanta’s Office of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion.

Business and entertainment leaders

Arthur Blank co-founded The Home Depot and is a prominent figure in Atlanta’s professional sports business.

Tyler Perry is the founder and CEO of Tyler Perry Studios, bringing an entertainment industry background to the group.

Rosalind Brewer is a former Walgreens CEO and former interim president of Spelman College. Her experience spans corporate leadership and higher education.

Political and civic leaders

Jason Carter is a former Georgia state senator and a grandson of the late former President Jimmy Carter.

Jane Kidd is a former Athens state representative and former chair of the Democratic Party of Georgia. Her father, Ernest Vandiver, served as Georgia’s 73rd governor.

Michelle Nunn is a longtime civic nonprofit leader who joins the group from the nonprofit sector. She is the daughter of Sam Nunn, who served as a U.S. senator from Georgia for 24 years and was widely recognized as one of the most knowledgeable legislative leaders in U.S. armed forces and national defense.

Bottoms also named honorary transition team members, including U.S. Sens. Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock and Public Service Commission member Peter Hubbard. Her initial announcement did not specify each member’s individual transition responsibilities.

Bottoms, a Democrat, defeated Republican Rick Jackson in the governor’s race. She will take office as Democrats gain control of the state House but Republicans retain a narrow majority in the state Senate.

Outgoing Republican Gov. Brian Kemp has promised a smooth transition. He said he would not call a special session to redraw the state’s political districts or curtail executive branch powers before Bottoms takes office.

“Georgians made a very clear choice on Tuesday, up and down the ballot,” Bottoms said when announcing the transition. “We asked for a state government that works on behalf of everyone.”
