President Barack Obama Endorses Jon Ossoff
President Obama on Ossoff: “I know he’s got what it takes to stand up to corruption in Washington and protect health care for families in Georgia.”
“Jon’s wife, Alisha, is a OBGYN doctor,” says Obama, highlighting Dr. Alisha Kramer’s work as a physician in Georgia. “Alisha knows if her patients lose their insurance, they won’t be able to afford their care. So Jon will defend the protections for pre-existing conditions I fought so hard for.”

If Doug Collins is good enough to defend President Trump and uphold our Constitution, he is certainly good enough for Georgia in the United States Senate.”
