At 33, Ossoff Is Youngest Democrat Elected to Senate Since Biden

In 2017, at the age of 29, he ran for Congress in Georgia in a race closely watched as an early referendum on President Donald Trump. Though he lost, he shattered fundraising records and made the contest in a once reliably Republican district competitive. For his Senate campaign, he took a sharper approach. His platform was unabashedly liberal, calling for a $15 minimum wage, a “public option” government health plan, and a new voting rights act to restore federal oversight of state election laws. He also launched a fierce attack on Perdue while shrugging off his opponent s exaggerated claim that he was pursuing a “radical socialist agenda. At a debate in October, he called the 71-year-old former corporate executive “a crook” who used the COVID-19 pandemic to protect his stock portfolio while downplaying the seriousness of the virus. Perdue insisted the allegations were false.

(AP Photo/Branden Camp) ATLANTA – As a teenager, Jon Ossoff was inspired by the pivotal role John Lewis played in the fight for racial equality when the civil rights icon was in his early 20s. He was in awe of Lewis life, he told The Associated Press in December, particularly how someone “so young” had achieved such a prominent position as chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee.

In Memoriam 2020: Politics

There will never be another John Lewis. In the world of social justice, it is rare for our most prominent leaders to live a long life think of Martin, Malcolm and Huey P. Newton. Seeing our leaders turn into elected officials is even more of a rarity. John Lewis was able to do both, and become a uniquely revered figure along the way. To those of us doing the work of social justice, Lewis was a freedom fighter and a mentor. To those who work in politics regardless of party affiliation he was a highly respected official. To those of us who have dabbled in both, he was a symbol of ultimate balance.

Jim Clyburn to Propose Lift Every Voice and Sing as America s National Hymn — The Sacramento Observer

House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn speaks to the Journal-isms Rountable. “I’ve been toying around with an idea now for two or three decades, ever since I’ve been in the Congress,” Clyburn said during Richard Prince’s Journal-isms Roundtable Jan. 3. “I’ve been trying to build up enough nerve to introduce a national hymn. “I instructed my staff two weeks ago to prepare legislation for me to apply this week to make ‘Lift Every Voice and Sing’ our national hymn. We have a national anthem, we don’t have a national hymn. I would love to see that become our national hymn, and being sung at events, not as the Negro National Anthem, but as the United States of America’s national hymn.
