Jon Ossoff is one of the candidates we’ll be supporting this cycle with our fundraising. This speech is a great example of why.
Months ago, we talked with Jon Ossoff’s campaign about making an arrangement for all of our BJ fundraising to go toward field work and not advertising, consultants, etc.
Not ready to start our fundraising for him just yet, but if some of you guys are wanting to start donating now, I can put up a link to our thermometer so anything you give will go toward field work. Let me know in the comments?
It will be a tough fight in Georgia this year – even though I can’t think of any senator who is better than he is. There are a few who are tied for “damn, we are so lucky to have this person in the senate”.
We don’t normally fundraise any more for candidates who are well-funded, but Ossoff is their big Senate target to knock off in 2026, so it seems worth it to me if our funds can go to organizing and boots on the ground.
Feel free to share you thoughts in the comments!

I’m more optimistic about him after that Georgia PUC election.

@Baud: I’d be more optimistic about him if the FP post to raise funds got his name right.

You might want to correct Jon’s last name in the 1st line from Ossify to Ossoff. Nothing ossified about him.

He’s the stonewall candidate. Don’t take him for granite. He’s gonna…
rock.

I’ve been donating to Ossoff monthly for some time now.

As an adopted Georgian for the past 41+ years, I’m extraordinary proud to be represented by Jon Ossoff.
Uh???

@SiubhanDuinne:
It’s amazing how good your two senators are.

@Gin & Tonic: Fucking autocorrect does that EVERY TIME, and I change it. Sometimes when I correct it, it re-un-corrects itself.
Surely you know I know how to spell his name, right? And that was supposed to be funny
@NetheadJay: Autocorrect.

@SiubhanDuinne: Fucking autocorrect, do you guys not know how that works?
Now the whole thread will be about one autocorrect that I didn’t find. Not sure why I bother.

@Baud:
I know, so lucky.
People diss Georgia, and often with reason, but we gave you Jimmy Carter and John Lewis and Max Cleland and Sam Nunn.

LOL, WG, we all know the pain.
