6th District Race: Ossoff Endorsed By Former Gov. Barnes

SOUTH COBB, GA -- Sixth District race frontrunner Jon Ossoff gained another politically strategic feather in his hat this week when former Georgia Gov. Roy Barnes endorsed him at an event in Marietta.

Barnes, the state's most recent Democratic governor, joins a growing list of political luminaries to get behind the first-time candidate in one of the most important races in the country.

“Jon has been a refreshing breath of air in an otherwise stale environment of politics,” said Barnes. “He’s united us as Democrats here in Georgia and around the nation. Jon has a positive message about growing metro Atlanta’s economy into a high-tech hub to ensure we are creating the new jobs of the new economy. He we also put a laser focus on our transportation issues and work to protect us against threats to our civil rights and national security. He doesn’t just talk about problems, he offers solutions. I believe he will be a very effective member of Congress.”
