Jon Ossoff Quote

Thomas Jonathan Ossoff ( OSS-off; born February 16, 1987) is an American politician who has served as the senior United States senator from Georgia since 2021. A member of the Democratic Party, he is the youngest U.S. senator. Prior to his election to Congress, he was a documentary and investigative filmmaker.
Ossoff worked as a national security staffer and legislative assistant for U.S. representative Hank Johnson. Afterwards, he was managing director of an investigative production company that worked with reporters to document corruption in foreign countries. In 2017, he ran in the special election for Georgia's 6th congressional district, narrowly losing a seat that had long been considered a Republican stronghold. In 2021, Ossoff won the 2020-21 U.S. Senate election in Georgia, beating incumbent Republican senator David Perdue in a runoff election.
Ossoff is the youngest member of the Senate elected since Don Nickles in 1980, the first senator born in the 1980s, and the first millennial United States senator. Together with Raphael Warnock, who was elected on the same day, they are the first Democrats to represent Georgia in the United States Senate since Zell Miller in 2005.
