Thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you to our panel. I just want to take a moment and echo the sentiments of so many of my colleagues expressing appreciation for the men and women of the United States Capitol Police who endured a great deal on…
Jon Ossoff
The Public Record
Jon Ossoff is an American politician and investigative filmmaker currently serving as the junior United States senator from Georgia, a position he has held since January 20, 2021. A member of the Democratic Party, Ossoff gained national attention during his campaign for the Senate, which he won in a runoff election against Republican incumbent David Perdue. His victory was significant in helping to shift the balance of power in the Senate towards the Democrats.
I was dispirited speaking with the former Chief in our last hearing when he described that there was no individual responsible for the security of the United States Capitol.
On February 22d, during this committee's first hearing on the events of January 6th, I asked a simple question of the panel: Who is in charge? Who is ultimately responsible for the security of the United States Capitol Complex?
This is a bipartisan relief effort in that it has the overwhelming support of a vast majority of the American people.
I think there is a reason that 80 percent of the American public supports this COVID relief legislation.
Working families in this country are not playing the stock market with this money.
In Georgia, as in States across the country, working-class and middle-class families have been crushed by this pandemic and the economic crisis that has resulted from this pandemic.
Your experience has taught you how much the Federal Government can help support hardworking families and create opportunities.
What steps will you take in your capacity as the leader of OMB... to ensure that new regulations do not just benefit the most powerful trade groups?
Do you agree with me that nurses in this country need and deserve economic relief?
It is one of the most vital transportation infrastructure components in the United States.
We need strong leadership at OMB to coordinate additional support families across our country need.
I look forward to working with everyone on this Committee to find common ground, to find common-sense solutions, and to strengthen our national security.
Will you commit to working with my office to determine which Federal programs are available to surge health care capacity and resources authorized by Congress for the provision of rural health care and rural health clinics in Georgia and…
One of the challenges is that many of those who are in the deepest economic distress right now also have difficulty accessing basic financial services.
When you send me and Reverend Warnock to the Senate, we will pass those $2,000 stimulus checks that the people need, that families need to stay on their feet and in their homes.
Georgia is the most competitive battleground state in the United States. You did that. You did that.
We need to pass $2,000 stimulus checks for the people. We need to surge vaccine distribution and make testing and vaccines free for every American to beat this virus.
David Perdue opposed direct stimulus for the people all year long. Last week David Perdue changed his tune. Well, guess what? There's an election coming.
Our senator has been absent, is absent. Doesn't think he needs to be here answering questions. Doesn't think he needs to be in Washington passing relief for the people.
It's about time that we elected people in this country who had a heart for the people. Who weren't just thinking about an election in five days.
I look forward to seeing the vice president elect and the president elect here. And this is a battle between the people of Georgia and two crook U.S. senators who have used their offices to enrich themselves while they obstruct relief for…
David Perdue doesn't mean it when he says he supports $2,000 checks. This is why even David Perdue's supporters here don't respect him anymore. The guy turns on a dime because the elections five days away.
It's all about getting out the vote, Lawrence. But my number one concern is these attacks on voting rights in Georgia. They're trying to disenfranchise black voters as we speak. They have filed lawsuit after lawsuit to purge the rolls, to…
