Heads Up - Eyes on Upcoming Georgia Special Election

[ATL Ebony]

Jon Ossoff’s special election is the FIRST competitive Congressional race of the Trump era. Ossoff is leading 31.7% to 24.9% (nearest competitor); no others broke the 20% mark; 17.6 are undecided. Ossoff is running in a red district, but one where Trump struggled last year with only a single point win (48-47).

Ossoff is running full steam ahead to fill Tom Price's seat (Trump’s appointee as secretary of Health and Human Services). He has the full support of Congressmen John Lewis and Hank Johnson, as well as Rachael Maddow, to name a few. He's runnining in an 18-person field and doing extremely well.

This Special Election will be held on April 18. All eyes are on Georgia. So, please support a Jon Ossoff win and we can replace Trump's anti-Obamacare hatchet man with a Democrat in Congress.

2. I just donated $25 (about an hour ago).

I live in John Lewis' Distrist (Atlanta). It would be really sweet to take Tom Price's back from the Republicans.

I think this one is very winnable.

3. Agree 100% -- I think we have a WINNER!!!

Awesome, thank you for your support.

I'm not in that district but give my support to all those running (Yay Hansen).

6. Thanks, I'm sure they appreciate all support.

I figure it's the least I can do to pitch in and let them know that we're with them. So I just give whenever I find a candidate taking a stand for democracy. There's a few elections this year so we don't need to wait for 2018/2020.
