AJC: “[The ad] highlights Ossoff’s bipartisan investigation into abuse in Georgia’s foster care system and legislation combating child sex trafficking.”

Atlanta, Ga. — New reporting from the AJC highlights Jon Ossoff for Senate’s first TV ad of the cycle, titled “Our Kids,” which spotlights Sen. Ossoff’s work as a “watchdog who has challenged powerful institutions.”

The ad highlights Sen. Ossoff’s investigation into the mistreatment of foster children – which found that kids in Georgia’s foster care system were likely sex trafficked while under state care – and features the subsequent passage of Sen. Ossoff’s bipartisan bill to fight child sex trafficking and abuse.

The release of the ad comes as Sen. Ossoff’s Republican opponent, Mike Collins, faces an active federal investigation into the illegal misuse of tax dollars as well as outrage over his troubling record of controversies and scandals.

KEY EXCERPTS

• Jon Ossoff won a Senate seat six years ago by making corruption the defining issue. His first general election TV ad released Tuesday morning suggests he’s sticking with a similar playbook.
  
  
• The Democrat’s spot doesn’t mention Republican U.S. Senate nominee Mike Collins. Instead, it highlights Ossoff’s bipartisan investigation into abuse in Georgia’s foster care system and legislation combating child sex trafficking.

• “Every child should be safe,” Ossoff says in the ad, which closes with an image of him and his wife, Alisha, playing with their two daughters.

• It’s familiar terrain for Ossoff. His first general election ad in 2020 against David Perdue centered on his work as an investigative journalist exposing corruption. This time, he’s making a broader argument that he’s a watchdog who has challenged powerful institutions.
  
  
• The new six-figure buy will air on broadcast television, streaming and digital platforms. And it’s a sign that Ossoff is ready to dip into an account topping $31 million to spend aggressively against Collins, who only had roughly $1.3 million in ad support throughout the entire primary and runoff campaign.
