Jon Ossoff is in the midst of a heated political battle with his direct opponent David Perdue over the right to represent the great state of Georgia in the United States senate. If you’ve been paying attention to both men’s campaigns, the differences couldn’t possibly be more stark.

Ossoff is a political progeny of the late great John Lewis. Congressman Lewis has been fighting for Black and other oppressed people since WAY before he held public office. Lewis (in)famously walked across the Edmund Pettus Bridge and took a beating in order to secure freedom and equality for generations to come. Those bloody trials inspired people like Jon Ossoff to want to create change. Recently, Ossoff released a new ad featuring the late congressman that speaks to this very idea.

In addition, Joe Biden also recently released an ad that vouches not only for Jon Ossoff but also for Ossoff’s campaign brother-from-another-mother Rev. Raphael Warnock.

Ossoff and John Lewis were very close for many years and we have no doubt that if he were still here in the flesh that he would be telling us all to elect Jon.
