Where they stand
In their own words, from their campaign and official websites, summarised in plain English. Under each issue, their Senate votes: Final passage votes in the Senate in the last two Congresses (2023 to now), matched to each issue by Congress.gov's own topic for the bill (and its subject tags, unless it is a catch-all bill with dozens), closest votes first: a lopsided vote says little about where anyone stands.
Economy and cost of living
Ossoff says he has worked to attract manufacturing jobs and investment to Georgia and to lower housing costs.
Ossoff says he has worked to cap insulin costs for seniors at $35 a month, upgrade health care for pregnant women, babies, and children, and strengthen health care facilities across Georgia.
Ossoff says he has worked to expand veterans' access to mental health care, upgrade child development centers for military families and barracks for enlisted personnel, and strengthen VA health care for Iraq and Afghanistan veterans.
Ossoff says he has led investigations exposing corruption and abuses of power, including corruption in federal prisons and mistreatment of inmates and military families.
From FEC filings for 2025–26. Outside spending is money a group spends on its own about a candidate — TV and online ads, mail, canvassing. It is not a donation to the campaign, and the candidate does not control it. Supporting means it was spent to help that candidate win; Opposing means it was spent to defeat them, usually on attack ads. Groups report it within 24 or 48 hours as the election nears. Raised is the campaign's own fundraising, as of its latest quarterly report. Largest donors come from each outside spender's own FEC receipts, with each donor's share of its itemized receipts; donors under $100,000 are not named. People are shown with the employer and occupation they reported. A donor that is itself a political committee is shown with its own largest donors. Companies and nonprofits don't report their funders to the FEC, so the trail ends there, and the page says so.

Controversies
Stated as reported. Most are reported by at least two independent news outlets or found in an official record; any with only one source so far is marked Single source.
Settlements
FEC enforcement action over excessive 2020 campaign contributions
The FEC initiated proceedings against Jon Ossoff for Senate and its treasurer over allegations the committee failed to timely remedy excessive, prohibited, and other impermissible 2020 election contributions totaling $363,272.43. The committee agreed to implement compliance procedures, retain an outside consultant, and pay a $27,000 civil penalty.
Ties to Southern Poverty Law Center after group's indictment Single source
Only one source found so far. We keep looking for a second, independent report.
Federal prosecutors indicted the Southern Poverty Law Center's affiliated organization for alleged financial crimes; Republicans noted Ossoff received more than $700,000 from the group's 501(c)(4) arm in 2020 and had praised it, and the RNC alleged he was 'complicit' for not returning the money or condemning the group. Ossoff did not comment on the indictment and his campaign did not respond to requests for comment.
Donations linked to Epstein associate Reid Hoffman Single source
Only one source found so far. We keep looking for a second, independent report.
Republican opponent Mike Collins alleged Ossoff was a 'hypocrite' for accepting a maximum $7,000 donation from billionaire Reid Hoffman, who has acknowledged visiting Jeffrey Epstein's island, while Ossoff campaigned against an 'Epstein class' of elites; Hoffman also gave $1 million to a PAC opposing Collins. Hoffman has not been accused of wrongdoing.
Viral remark about White House aide Natalie Harp Single source
Only one source found so far. We keep looking for a second, independent report.
Ossoff said at a campaign rally that Trump would rather 'build a ballroom and travel with Natalie' than do his job, referring to aide Natalie Harp; conservatives and Trump allies, including Rep. Mike Collins, called the remark sexist and misogynistic and said it revealed how Ossoff views women. Ossoff said he was referring to Harp as Trump's 'security blanket' and denied any other insinuation, and later said White House staffers should not have their feelings prioritized over public accountability.
Response: I’ve heard this particular aide referred to as his security blanket. And I think we could say that about any number of the senior aides in the White House. They’re not telling him what he needs to hear. They’re telling him what he wants to hear.
Ethics complaint alleging Rep. Hank Johnson improperly aided Ossoff's 2017 campaign Single source
Only one source found so far. We keep looking for a second, independent report.
An ethics watchdog group, FACT, alleged that Rep. Hank Johnson, Ossoff's former boss, improperly used his official House website to campaign for Ossoff during the 2017 special election runoff.
Overstated national security clearance claims in 2017 campaign Single source
Only one source found so far. We keep looking for a second, independent report.
During his 2017 House campaign, Republicans accused Ossoff of inflating his résumé after reports surfaced that he held a high-level national security clearance for only five months while on Rep. Hank Johnson's staff; Ossoff had emphasized the clearance early in the campaign before backing off the claim.
