Won the governorship for the first time since 1998

Keisha Lance Bottoms won Georgia's governor's race on Tuesday with about 54% of the vote, defeating Republican Rick Jackson and becoming the first Black woman elected governor of a US state. The former Atlanta mayor is also the first woman to hold Georgia's top office and the first Democrat to win it since 1998. At least eight women won statewide offices in Georgia, including governor, attorney general and secretary of state, Fox 5 Atlanta reported.
