Atlanta, Ga. — Today, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is set to headline a closed-door, GOP mega donor fundraiser for Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.) in Atlanta, putting on stark display Perdue’s lockstep commitment to McConnell’s agenda of endless partisan obstruction, and his loyalty to wealthy donors instead of working families and small businesses in Georgia who continue to suffer during the pandemic.
In response, investigative journalist and Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Georgia Jon Ossoff released the following statement:
“Mitch McConnell is desperate to hold onto power so he can try to do to the Biden administration what he tried to do to President Obama – endless partisan obstruction, gridlock, and government shutdowns, even at a moment of national crisis,” Ossoff said. “They may have the financial advantage, but we’re going to outwork and outhustle McConnell and Perdue on the ground and get out the vote to end the paralysis in Washington, rush COVID relief to Georgians, and make historic investments in infrastructure, jobs, and clean energy to rebuild this economy so working families and small businesses thrive.”
