Jon Ossoff

“During an interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Flake cited that Sen. Ossoff’s “character, constituent work and respect for the institution outweigh their policy differences.” In citing concerns about Sen. Ossoff’s opponent, Mike Collins, Flake acknowledged he was “troubled by the Republican’s refusal to recognize Biden’s 2020 victory.” “I’m still a conservative Republican. But character matters. And I want someone in that seat who takes the institution seriously and will protect the institution,” Flake said. “Character is more important. I’ve been around long enough to know that you’ll disagree on issues with people across the aisle, or sometimes in your party. But the more important thing is character,” said Flake, adding: “I compare that to somebody who will likely go back and just be a rubber stamp for whatever the president wants.”

“We have gotten more support from Senator Ossoff than any other office that we’ve contacted,” she said in an interview, citing an $8.4 million federal grant he secured to replace aging natural-gas infrastructure. “He calls us and says, ‘What do you need?’”

“Matheson and Smith praised Ossoff’s approach to constituent service and his efforts to steer federal resources to South Georgia. “He’s been very good to South Georgia, and in my nonpartisan role as mayor, I have to look to someone who takes care of their constituents. I’m a Republican, but there are times when a person exceeds the party. They go above and beyond.” “I will take heat for this endorsement, and it doesn’t matter,” Matheson said. “There’s no way I can turn my back on this relationship.”

“He’s been very good to South Georgia, and in my nonpartisan role as mayor, I have to look to someone who takes care of their constituents. I’m a Republican, but there are times when a person exceeds the party. They go above and beyond,” Smith told the AJC. “I don’t have to track him down. He tracks me down.” “I will take heat for this endorsement, and it doesn’t matter. There’s no way I can turn my back on this relationship,” Matheson told the AJC. “The voters per me in here to do a job, and that man has been absolutely incredible.”

“I’m here to tell you live on the radio that I am team Ossoff for the rest of the summer and I will do everything I can possible on this show to get you re-elected,” Wynter said following an interview on air with Ossoff. “I see re-elections as a job interview, and in my humble opinion, I’ve seen nothing from Senator Jon Ossoff that requires me to say you’re fired from the job.”

“In a statement endorsing Sen. Ossoff, Shanette WIlliams said, in part, “Since the passing of my daughter, Amber Thurman, Senator Ossoff has never forgotten the promises he made to my family. More importantly, his actions have consistently aligned with his words. He has shown sincere care and concern for my grandson, Messiah. He has taken the time to personally check on him, ask about his progress in school, celebrate his accomplishments, and encourage him through one of the most difficult periods of his young life. He even made time for a play date with my grandson—something no headline would”

“You talk to farmers in South Georgia, they can get him on the phone. They can get his staff on the phone. They can get help,” Erickson said during a recent segment. “You talk to Republicans in Houston County, very Republican part of the state, they know they can reach out to Ossoff, and he doesn’t care that they’re Republican. If they need something, he’s going to get it done.”
