Bottoms said in the video that "expanding Medicaid" would be her "top priority" as the state's governor, and that she would "work to eliminate state income taxes for teachers."
She worked for President Joe Biden during a portion of his White House tenure. In 2022 she was announced as Senior Advisor to the President for Public Engagement, and then in 2023 Bottoms was selected to serve on the President's Export Council.
