Jon Ossoff, the former congressional candidate who lost a nationally watched special election in Georgia in 2017, is launching a campaign for Senate
on Tuesday, a person familiar with the Democrat’s decision said.
Ossoff, a former congressional aide who ran a documentary film company and was making his first bid for political office in 2017, raised nearly $30 million for what became the most expensive House race in history. But he lost the district in suburban Atlanta to Republican Karen Handel. Handel held the seat for a year and a half before she lost to Democratic Rep. Lucy McBath in last November’s general election.
Ossoff told the Atlanta Journal Constitution he would build on his 2017 campaign as he runs for Senate. The newspaper also reported that Rep. John Lewis, the civil rights icon and longtime Georgia congressman, was endorsing Ossoff's campaign. Lewis said he was "ready to work tirelessly to elect him."
