Two candidates for governor are focusing on affordability, proposing different plans to ease household expenses. Democrat Keisha Lance Bottoms has a plan to exempt sales taxes on certain essentials, including groceries and baby formula. This exemption would be optional for local governments, which could choose to participate permanently or temporarily when prices rise.

The plan also includes a proposed fund to help with the transition. Further details about the candidates' proposals are available.

The cost of living is a concern for many voters, and the candidates' plans aim to address this issue.
