Bottoms wants Georgia to meet its universal pre-K pledge. It’s a tough campaign promise to keep.
Georgia's pre-K program struggles to meet demand, serving fewer than 50% of 4-year-olds in some counties despite its universal access claim. Keisha Lance Bottoms, the Democratic gubernatorial nominee, proposes expanding the program with a 57% budget increase funded by legalizing casino gambling to ensure all eligible children have a spot.
