Mensaje del Senador Ossoff [ES]

Dear Reader,

As Georgia’s U.S. Senator, I strive to serve our State with excellence, humility, and a relentless focus on results.

Here are some of the results I secured for Georgia in my second year in office:

I’ve relentlessly championed Georgia’s economic development, delivering resources all over Georgia provided by the historic bipartisan infrastructure legislation passed in 2021. I’ve secured resources for an unprecedented expansion of broadband internet access; upgraded ports, airports, roads, bridges, and water infrastructure statewide; and authored and passed legislation to attract thousands of advanced manufacturing jobs to Georgia.

Focused on improving the lives of Georgia’s servicemembers and military families, I led an eight-month bipartisan investigation of their mistreatment in privatized housing on U.S. military bases. I also passed into law upgrades to child development centers for military families and barracks for enlisted personnel, while fighting for and securing the largest servicemember pay raise in 20 years.

I worked across the aisle to pass landmark legislation strengthening health care for Iraq and Afghanistan veterans, wrote and passed bipartisan legislation to expand veterans’ access to mental health care, and cut through government red tape to help thousands of Georgia veterans access the benefits they’ve earned.

Every day, I am focused on Georgia families’ safety and health, especially the health of newborn babies, young children, and expecting mothers. I’ve upgraded and strengthened health care facilities across the State, funded law enforcement and mental health services, passed bipartisan legislation into law to address the opioid epidemic, capped the cost of insulin for seniors at $35 a month, and passed bipartisan legislation to protect our kids from online exploitation.

Defending and pursuing the promise of equal justice for all, I passed into law bipartisan legislation to investigate unsolved lynchings and Civil Rights-era murders; and led unprecedented Senate oversight of corruption and abuse in prisons and jails.

I’ve led hard-hitting bipartisan investigations that exposed the sexual assault and medical abuse of women in U.S. Federal custody; corruption and misconduct in the Federal prison system; and mistreatment of military families.

My team and I have provided highly responsive constituent services to thousands of Georgians, helping seniors access Medicare and Social Security, ensuring veterans receive their benefits, solving passport and visa problems for constituents, and more.

We are here to help however we can.

— Senador Jon Ossoff
