I've been fond of him since I first heard him speak.

He's intelligent, articulate, authentic and a pragmatist.

He would be a fantastic presidential candidate.

There's only one seat that we might not hold, and it isn't Georgia.

I'll donate anyway. But not by the June 30 "deadline"

My donations to Senators Osoff and Warnock were a great investment in America.

Favorite joke.

A Jewish man and a Black man walk into a bar in Georgia. The bartender asks:

What'll it be? SENATORS

Let's keep it that way.

Until one wins the presidency.

That goes without saying. The point here is that Ossoff is doing something right now, he's smart enough to know how to continue it and how to adjust his message. And since he's so successful, other Dems can learn from it. I hope they do.
