Update: Ossoff Names Health Care as Top Reelection Priority

Update to an earlier report: This article includes new information about a story we previously covered. Read our earlier report.

Stopping health insurers from denying care Georgia families need would be Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff’s top priority if he wins a second term, he said. Ossoff is running for reelection in the midterm election.

He has also called for repealing tariffs, which he blames for high grocery prices. On Iran, Ossoff said ending the war requires a return to diplomacy to secure national security interests.

To describe his Senate work, Ossoff pointed to bipartisan efforts on insulin costs, fentanyl trafficking, veterans’ mental health, children’s online safety and Georgia manufacturing jobs. He also said he led an investigation into Georgia’s foster care system and abuse, and named children’s safety as a priority.

Ossoff’s first Senate win came in 2021, alongside Sen. Raphael Warnock’s. Their victories gave Democrats control of the Senate, according to the article.
