Jon Ossoff (D) leads in 6th district (Georgia) in solid gop territory!

ATLANTA, Ga – The latest poll in the nation’s most closely watched election was released Friday, showing a Democrat continuing to lead in what has been a solid GOP congressional lock.

The poll, conducted by Opinion Savvy, shows Jon Ossoff continuing to hold a solid lead over the rest of the 18-candidate field seeking to replace Tom Price in the 6th congressional district. Ossoff is polling at 40 percent, while Republican Karen Handel is next at 20 percent, followed by another Republican, Bob Gray, at 10 percent.

No other candidate is polling in double digits, although state Sen. Judson Hill, who secured the high-profile endorsement of U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, is at 9.5 percent.

was P. effin Ryan, my bad!

a little morsel from his website...I am vewy vewy impressed!!

"Jon is a small business owner, executive, and entrepreneur — the CEO of a company that produces documentaries investigating organized crime and political corruption. 

He knows what it means to grow a company, meet a payroll, and balance budgets.

Jon has a Master’s degree from the London School of Economics, where he specialized in trade relations between the US and China."

China, CatWoman! Trade relations no less!? - SO, if dft is still around (I truly hope he's not) when Jon hits DC, this kid's gonna bring some bona fide knowledge with him about "Chy-nah" AND "trade relations" - me likey!

He did an investigative piece on the young girls kidnapped by ISIS and were forced to be sex slaves

I wish I could vote for him (I'm in Hank Johnson's district).
