Jon Ossoff is Georgia's junior Democratic senator since 2021, an investigative journalist and documentary producer who chairs the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations.

Thomas Jonathan Ossoff, a Democrat elected in a January 2021 runoff that delivered Democrats Senate control, brings an uncommon background of investigative journalism and documentary filmmaking to the Senate. Born and raised in Atlanta, Ossoff studied at Georgetown and the London School of Economics, served as a national-security staffer for Congressman Hank Johnson, and ran an investigative journalism production company documenting corruption and human rights abuses across Africa and Central Asia. He narrowly lost a 2017 special election for Georgia's 6th Congressional District, then one of the most expensive House races ever. In the Senate, Ossoff serves on Judiciary, Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, Banking, and Rules committees, and chairs the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, where he has led high-profile inquiries into nursing home safety, federal prisons, and tax enforcement. His journalism background shapes his approach to congressional oversight and accountability, making him a leading voice on government efficiency and protecting vulnerable populations from institutional failures.
