Jonathan Ossoff — Democrat Candidate for U.S. Senate in Georgia, 2026

Senator Jon Ossoff supports an immigration policy that strengthens borders while upholding human rights and offering a path to legal status for undocumented immigrants, particularly those brought as children. He advocates for reforming the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to ensure competence and humanity, having released a report detailing 1,037 alleged abuses in immigration centers. Ossoff also stated he would not support DHS funding due to concerns about violations of civil liberties by federal forces.

““Massively deployed and ill-trained Federal forces are violating civil liberties with impunity and showing reckless disregard for life and property,” Ossoff said in a statement. “Masked federal agents are detaining citizens without cause and raiding Americans’ homes without a judge’s warrant. A growing number of Americans have been assaulted or killed. This cannot be America. Democrats and Republicans alike must act to stop this spiraling chaos and protect our Constitutional rights.” - Jon Ossoff, statement, Georgia Recorder (January 26, 2026)”

Senator Jonathan Ossoff advocates for healthcare affordability, supporting the extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies to prevent premium increases and insurance loss for Georgians. He voted for a Democratic bill to extend these subsidies for three years and against a Republican proposal for Health Savings Accounts. Ossoff has also cosponsored the bipartisan Safe Step Act to limit "step therapy" by insurance companies, aiming to ensure timely access to medically necessary treatments, and the Accelerating Kids' Access to Care Act.

“My constituents cannot afford this. And some of my constituents cannot survive it," Sen. Jon Ossoff said in a speech on the Senate floor ahead of a vote on a health care affordability bill, December 11, 2025, as reported by GPB.”

Senator Jonathan Ossoff supports transitioning to clean energy, reducing carbon emissions, and increasing energy efficiency, citing scientific evidence for an urgent environmental crisis. He advocates for immediately re-entering the Paris Climate Accords and strengthening environmental standards. He intends to support a historic infrastructure plan with investments in clean energy and environmental protection. The League of Conservation Voters Action Fund endorsed him, with a lifetime score of 96%.

“We can meet our energy needs without destroying the environment — but only by rapidly transitioning to clean energy sources, dramatically reducing carbon emissions, and increasing energy efficiency. That’s why I’ll support a historic infrastructure plan that includes massive investments in clean energy, energy efficiency, and environmental protection. I’ll push for America to immediately re-enter the Paris Climate Accords — and then to lead negotiation of an even more ambitious climate treaty. (Jon Ossoff, Ballotpedia)”

Jonathan Ossoff has consistently supported abortion rights and reproductive healthcare, opposing restrictions on care. He voted against advancing an amendment to interfere with abortion care and supported cloture for the "Right to IVF Act" and the "Reproductive Freedom for Women Act." His campaign pledges to defend access to contraception and a woman's right to choose.

U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff voted to pass the National Defense Authorization Act in December 2025. This legislative action supports the annual defense budget and policies for the United States, aligning with national security objectives.

Jonathan Ossoff supports making trade school and vocational training free, alongside achieving 100% debt-free four-year degrees at public colleges. He advocates for increasing teacher pay and decoupling school funding from community wealth. Ossoff also pressed the Department of Education to reverse funding cuts for Hispanic-Serving Institutions, emphasizing education's role in expanding opportunities.

“That’s why in the Senate I’ll work to make trade school and vocational training free for every American. And I’ll work to make four-year degrees at our public colleges 100% debt-free. So many Americans today are held back by student debt — can’t start a business, start a family, or buy a home — because they can’t keep up with student loan payments. But the cost of education shouldn’t hold us back. Education should expand our opportunities. - Jon Ossoff, Ballotpedia”

Jonathan Ossoff supports gun safety reforms, including universal background checks, red flag laws, and closing gun sale loopholes. He voted 'Yes' on the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act in 2022 and has co-sponsored bills to ban assault weapons and strengthen firearm storage laws. Ossoff states his aim is to keep Georgia families safe by strengthening gun safety laws and addressing gun violence as a daily tragedy.

“I support universal criminal history checks for gun purchases, red flag laws to protect family members and domestic partners concerned about the mental health of their loved ones, and closing the gun show loophole. I support a ban on the sale of semi-automatic rifles (“assault weapons”) and high-capacity magazines to the general public. -- Jon Ossoff, Ballotpedia”
