Keisha Lance Bottoms will be the first Black female governor elected in the country, after she won the Georgia governor’s race, according to a race call by the Associated Press.

Bottoms’ win marks the first time Georgia has elected a Democratic governor in more than 20 years, breaking the Republican hold on state government in Georgia. But she will likely be working with a Republican majority in at least one chamber of the legislature.
