Our Pick

Jon Ossoff

Why Ossoff

Ossoff refuses corporate PAC and lobbyist money, got about 1% of his money from PACs and calls Citizens United one of the most destructive rulings in U.S. history. Collins got 6% from PACs and grades F.

The Catch

Ossoff's side has slightly more outside money, mostly from groups funded by Senate Democrats' super PAC, and $154K of his money came from crypto and AI companies and their people, led by Google.

No candidate is perfect. We back the best one, then keep holding them accountable.
