Handel Campaign Responds to New Ossoff #GA6 Ad
Democratic candidate Jon Ossoff released a new ad yesterday entitled “Wasting.” Ossoff states that he does not have time in the 30-second ad to list out all the areas that both parties are wasting money and instead directs them to his website to view his list that could save $16 billion. He does quickly highlight three areas in the ad: Eliminating Medicare fraud, consolidating federal data centers, and redoing the government’s mobile device contracts.
The Handel campaign issued a response to one idea from Ossoff’s website of expanding joint basing at the Department of Defense. The response can be seen after the break.
Jon Ossoff just released a new campaign ad highlighting his plan to “cut government waste”…
After looking through the list of cuts, dangerous liberal Jon Ossoff is including expanding “joint basing at the Department of Defense” in his plan
- In Jon Ossoff’s “Plan” To Cut Government Waste He Says He Wants To Expand “Joint Basing” At The Department of Defense. “If elected, one of my first actions in Congress will be to recommend the savings below…Expand joint basing at Department of Defense and save $2.3 billion.” (Jon Ossoff Website)
- Joint Basing Was A Recommendation Of The Base Closure and Realignment Commission In An Effort To Close Military Bases. “Established by a recommendation of the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure Commission, twelve installations met full operational capability (FOC) as part of the Department’s overall joint basing program.” (US Secretary of Defense Website)
In a 2016 study by the Georgia House of Representatives they outlined the risk of losing military installations for Georgia and said it would have an “alarming” economic impact of $20 billion a year.
Dangerous liberal Jon Ossoff’s plan to cut wasteful spending would not only have a negative economic impact, but could cost Georgia 26,000 jobs!
- House Study Committee On Military Affairs Report Says If Georgia National Guard And The Dobbins Air Reserve Base Were To Close It Would Destroy 26,000 Jobs. (Final Report of the Georgia House of Representatives Study Committee On Military Affairs)
Sorry Jon, but in Georgia’s 6th District, jobs are not “wasteful.”
When reporting on Dangerous Liberal Jon Ossoff’s plan to close Georgia military bases, destroying thousands of jobs, please consider using the following quote from the Handel campaign:
“This ‘wasteful’ spending that dangerous liberal Jon Ossoff is so quick to eliminate could mean the loss of 26,000 Georgia jobs and weaker national security at home and abroad. That’s a plan Georgia families just can’t afford.” – Handel Campaign Spokeswoman Kate Constantini

“When reporting on Dangerous Liberal Jon Ossoff’s plan…”
So is Handel’s campaign now following Donald’s example of using stupid nicknames when referring to a campaign opponent?
That was immature when he did it, and it doesn’t look any better on her.
Republican Strategy: Let’s use the word “Liberal” in our ads as often as we can.
Democrat Strategy: Let’s use the word “Trump” in our ads as often as we can.
Is now a good time to mention the latest WXIA/surveyUSA poll has Ossoff up by 7 points?
I’m not surprised. Handel is running as Paul Ryan’s hand maiden.
Its hard to get motivated to go to the polls to vote for another Never Trumper whose goals in life are to sabotage President Trump’s agenda and perpetuate Big Government with horrible budget bills/continuing resolutions.
Petty politics. The real nugget of useful info is Handel’s (and so many others’) policy of using the Defense Dept. as a jobs program. Fiscal conservatism is truly dead unless the LP moves out of the fringe and starts recruiting some electable candidates.
