Jon Ossoff is the senior United States Senator from Georgia, having served in the Senate since 2021. A member of the Democratic Party, he was born in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1987 and graduated from Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service and the London School of Economics. Before his election, he worked as a documentary filmmaker and CEO of Insight TWI, a television production company that investigated corruption and human rights abuses internationally. He won his Senate seat in a January 2021 runoff election, becoming at age 33 one of the youngest people ever elected to the United States Senate.
In the Senate, Ossoff has focused on government accountability, anti-corruption efforts, and healthcare access. He sits on the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee and the Senate Judiciary Committee. His investigative journalism background has informed his work on oversight and corporate accountability. His simultaneous 2021 runoff victory alongside Reverend Raphael Warnock flipped Senate control to Democrats and marked a historic shift in Georgia's political landscape.
