Keisha Lance Bottoms promises grocery tax relief during Cobb Dems visit

SMYRNA — Democratic gubernatorial candidate and former mayor of Atlanta Keisha Lance Bottoms promised to relieve taxes on groceries if elected governor. Bottoms, who addressed the Cobb County Democratic Committee in Smyrna on Saturday morning, made the promise as part of a broader plan to tackle cost of living concerns, which Pew Research Center found among voters’ top concerns going into the 2026 midterm elections. Bottoms said she wants to work with local governments to alleviate sales tax on groceries by temporarily suspending or, if the budget allows, getting rid of taxes on groceries. According to the county website, Cobb County levies a 2% countywide sales tax on various products. The state levies another 4% sales tax. Bottoms said her plan was inspired by her own family struggling to afford groceries growing up. “I remember those days standing in line with my mother, where you’d go in the grocery store and you would fill up the cart, and then when you got to the register and the total came up and you stood there, one by one taking things off, putting it back, until you got to that magic number you had in your pocket,” Bottoms said.
