1:01Now PlayingOssoff: “The promise of equal justice in America remains unfulfilled, so together we'll fight for a new Civil Rights Act and a new Voting Rights Act.”
Atlanta, Ga. — Today, investigative journalist and Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate Jon Ossoff released his latest ad, “Selma,” centering his commitment to fighting for equal justice that was first instilled in him by his mentor, Congressman John Lewis. As Ossoff walks the Edmund Pettus Bridge, he reflects on the courage of civil rights leaders including Congressman Lewis, the progress made in the Civil Rights Movement, and the work yet to be done to secure equal justice for all as he calls for a new Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act.
In the ad, Ossoff says he’ll fight to “ensure equal justice for all no matter the color of our skin, to end racial profiling and police brutality, and to stop anyone from suppressing the sacred right to vote.”
The ad closes with a portrait of Congressman Lewis and Lewis’s voice-over urging every American to exercise their right to vote. Passing a new Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act has been a core component of Ossoff’s fight for health, jobs, and justice for all Georgians.
