§3What they've said on the issues

Why this matters: These are positions the candidate has stated publicly — on their campaign website or in public statements — summarized in plain words with a link to where they said it. Issues they haven't spoken about publicly are left out.

Drafted by AI from the public sources cited. Each sentence links to its source.

Each issue has its own range of views. A position is marked on that range only when the candidate's own statement clearly matches one option; there is no overall left–right score.

Elections and Government Reform

Campaign finance rules

His campaign website says he has introduced legislation to ban corporate PACs.17

Stock trading by members of Congress

His campaign website says he is leading an effort to ban members of Congress from trading stocks, and that a ban he backed passed a major Senate committee.17

  1. Ban members and their spouses and dependent children from owning or trading individual stocks
  2. Ban members themselves from trading individual stocks
  3. No ban; keep the reporting rules, with stronger penalties for late reports
Marked: the option their statement matches.

Health Care

Medicaid expansion

His campaign website says he has fought to expand Medicaid in Georgia.17

Technology, Privacy and AI

High-speed internet access

His campaign website says he has worked to expand high-speed internet access across Georgia.17

Social Security and Medicare

Social Security benefit levels

His campaign website says he has fought to protect Social Security and Medicare and to strengthen Social Security benefits for public servants.17

§4Popular bills that never got a vote

Why this matters: Many bills with wide support from both parties never reach a vote, so no member of Congress is ever on record for or against them. Signing on as a sponsor or cosponsor is the only public record of support.

While Jon Ossoff served, these bills had broad support from both parties but never reached a floor vote. No officeholder ever had to vote on them. Jon Ossoff sponsored or cosponsored 21 of the 50. How bills die without a vote.

§5Money

Why this matters: Campaigns report where their money comes from and how much they have left. Outside groups that spend on their own, without coordinating with the campaign, report that too.

Smaller expenditures that appear only on a group's regular monthly or quarterly report aren't in these totals, so the full amounts can be somewhat higher. When a group amends a report, only its latest version is counted.

§6Financial disclosures

Why this matters: Federal candidates and members of Congress must report their assets, income, debts and outside jobs, and members must report stock trades. These filings show possible conflicts of interest.

Senate candidates and senators file with the Senate's own disclosure system, which asks each visitor to agree to its terms before searching, so we can't link straight to a filing. You can search for Jon Ossoff at efdsearch.senate.gov73.
