Ossoff vows to make Georgia families and small businesses his priority in the Senate
Atlanta, Ga. — Today investigative journalist and Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Jon Ossoff released a new TV ad titled “Hurting,” highlighting the struggles Georgia families and small businesses continue to face in this pandemic and Senator David Perdue (R-Ga.)’s opposition to the relief they urgently need.
In the ad, Ossoff speaks direct-to-camera about Perdue’s opposition to vital aid for Georgia families.
“But when Georgians needed help, Senator Perdue fought against $1,200 stimulus checks for workers, and he led the fight to cut unemployment insurance — while at the same time he gave billions to his corporate donors,” Ossoff says in the ad.
Perdue and Senate Republicans left Washington to go on summer vacation without re-authorizing emergency small business lending via the PPP program, extending eviction protections, or re-authorizing emergency COVID-19 unemployment benefits that many Georgia families need to survive and stay in their homes.
In the ad, Ossoff vows to make Georgia families and small businesses his priority in the Senate, not the big corporations that use PAC donations to buy off members of Congress like Perdue.

A transcript of the ad is below:
[Ossoff]: “I’m Jon Ossoff, and so many families and small businesses are hurting right now.
“But when Georgians needed help, Senator Perdue fought against $1,200 stimulus checks for workers, and he led the fight to cut unemployment insurance — while at the same time he gave billions to his corporate donors.
“Politicians like David Perdue put the donors and lobbyists who fund their campaigns ahead of ordinary people.
“I approve this message because I’m not taking corporate donations, and I’ll put working families and small businesses first.”
