With the highly anticipated Georgia special election coming up, all eyes are on this race with potentially huge consequences. A win for the leading Democratic candidate (Jon Ossoff), could give Democrats the momentum they need to pivot towards a successful midterm election. With that said, if you are voting in the election on Tuesday, April 18th, (or have parents that are), here are five reasons you should vote for Jon Ossoff!

1. He's been endorsed by congressman and civil rights leader John Lewis.

John Lewis has marched with the likes of Martin Luther King Jr., and has said, regarding Jon, "Jon is committed to progress and justice and he knows how to fight the good fight. We should unite behind Jon and send a clear message that Donald Trump doesn’t represent our values."

2. He fights corruption for a living.

He is the leader of a company that investigates organized crime and corrupt politicians. He's helped take down human traffickers and brought some of the atrocities of ISIS to the eyes of the public.

3. He is well educated.

He has a master's degree from the London School of Economics (where he wrote his thesis on China and USA trade relations). He attended Georgetown University as well.

4. He's been endorsed by a prominent environmental advocacy group.

The Sierra Club, the largest grassroots conservation organization in the country, has endorsed Jon Ossoff for Georgia's special election, confident that he will fight to protect clean air and water for Georgians.

5. He supports rights for LGBTQ+ Americans.

If elected, Ossoff has promised to be a "strong and outspoken ally of the LGBTQ community." On his campaign website, he lists one of his priorities as being an advocate "against discrimination, hate speech, or violence against Americans on the basis of their race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or place of birth."

For all of those reasons and more, Jon will make a great representative and work for the people of Georgia's 6th district. What do you say? Who's ready to #FlipTheSixth?
