#NEWS: Today, Senator @ossoff is championing legislation to get direct economic relief to Georgia's local communities, including smaller and medium-sized cities that were neglected in the CARES Act. #GAPol #GASen

(Thread):
.@ossoff has spoken with dozens of mayors & local leaders about their communities’ most urgent needs, & mayors consistently urged him to fight for budgetary support for localities, whose public services, like public safety, fire, and public health, are at risk during the crisis.
Responding to those local concerns, @ossoff is urging inclusion in the upcoming COVID-19 relief bill of the “Direct Support for Communities Act” legislation he has co-sponsored, which would deliver direct federal assistance to smaller cities, towns, villages, and counties.
Many local leaders across the state are already praising Senator Ossoff's efforts, including Cuthbert Mayor Steve Whatley, Savannah @MayorJohnsonSAV, Athens Mayor @kellygirtz, and Augusta Mayor @hardiedavis. #GAPol #GASen Image

#NEWS: Senator-elect Jon @ossoff will be sworn-in to the U.S. Senate tomorrow at roughly 4:30 p.m.

He will be sworn in on Hebrew scripture that belonged to historic Atlanta Rabbi Jacob Rothschild, a civil rights activist and close ally of Dr. King. #GAPol #GASen
.@Ossoff’s election marks a historic generational shift in the Senate.

He will take office as the first Senator born in the 1980’s, the youngest Senator in GA history, the youngest Dem. Senator since @JoeBiden, & the first Jewish person to serve GA in the Senate. #GAPol #GASen
Congressman Lewis instilled in @Ossoff the conviction to fight for justice & human rights, as well as a deep commitment to the historic bond between Jewish people & the Black community — an alliance symbolized & invigorated by the joint victories of Sens.-elect Ossoff & Warnock.
