ATLANTA — Some politicians like to talk about their legislative proposals that were signed into law. U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff seems to delight in discussing how his bipartisan measures came about.
There’s cold case legislation co-sponsored by U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas that was inspired by a conversation Ossoff had during a meeting about sewer issues in Wilkinson County with a resident who told him he was related to the victim of a generations-old lynching.
A rural opioid prevention measure that he co-sponsored with U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa came out of dozens of meetings with community leaders who kept bringing up the scourge of addiction.
