Lawanda recounts the discussions and stresses that “the most important thing that we can do is to get out and vote.”
Lawanda then speaks to Ossoff’s plan to fight for a new Civil Rights Act to put an end to police brutality and racial profiling. Lawanda emphasizes the need to elect Jon Ossoff to the Senate, saying, “He really cares about people.”
She closes the ad by underscoring the potential for change with Ossoff in the Senate and early voting starting on December 14.
