FORMER MAYOR KEISHA LANCE BOTTOMS JOINING CNN AS POLITICAL COMMENTATOR
After opting out to run for re-election last year, former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms kept her promise to remain engaged in politics and will join CNN as a political commentator.
The Florida A&M University alum will stand alongside CNN’s Ana Navarro and Van Jones.
I am thrilled to officially announce that I have joined @CNN as a Political Commentator. As a @FAMU_1887 student, I applied for the coveted VJ program at @CNN and didn’t get in. To now join the team nearly 30 yrs later is a reminder that a dream deferred is never a dream denied.

“I am thrilled to officially announce that I have joined @CNN as a Political Commentator. As a @FAMU_1887 student, I applied for the coveted VJ program at @CNN and didn’t get in. To now join the team nearly 30 yrs (sic) later is a reminder that a dream deferred is never a dream denied,” Bottoms wrote.
Bottoms is still very actively involved in the political community. She is currently serving as Vice Chair of Civic Engagement and Voter Protection for the Democratic National Committee, which she maintained while serving as mayor. She still works as an honorary HBCU Executive Leadership Institute fellow at Clark Atlanta University.
