From his Wikipedia page:

quote:

Ossoff worked as a national security staffer and aide to Rep. Hank Johnson for five years where he drafted and managed legislative initiatives that passed the House and Senate.[8][12] He had top-secret clearance for five months. Since 2013, he has been managing partner and CEO of Insight TWI, a small business which produces investigations targeting corrupt officials and organized crime for international news organizations.[14] In 2016, Ossoff was an executive producer for a documentary film by Insight TWI for BBC Three; the film exposed atrocities committed by ISIL in Iraq.[15]


How long before TWI starts putting out hit pieces on Republicans?

Ossoff's too modest to admit he was on the Guam rapid response team that probably saved the island.

You know you're reaching for achievements when you list 'had top secret clearance for 5 months'.

Osoff is young and inexperienced but he's got degrees from Georgetown and the London school of economics. He's produced content for BBC, WB, Discovery, etc. He's done well for someone his age.

Handel has a degree from a community college. She's pretty unimpressive. She's just older and more experienced. I think Donald Trump likes to call it "bad experience."

The use of ISIL, rather than ISIS tells me everything I'd need to know about that empty suit twerp.

ISIS vs ISIL? Really? The trump admin has actually used ISIL too.

Can't wait for your mental gymnastics.

The guy is supposedly 30, but looks 45. And heartbreak is right, get a fricking suit that fits.

I mean, Handel. This was a conservative district. Been that way for decades. We have all sorts of people leading this country that are average in every way.

Hell, we'd be fine if only half of congress met that standard.

Welcome to democracy. We have lots of people running this country who have never had a job, but had fancy titles. (See Clintons, Obamas, Bush, etc). People have had enough.

Facts aren't probabilities.

Unless you're a Dem. Sorry carry on.

Those degrees really don't mean all that much, and he hasn't really done much other than be a career bureaucrat up to this point.

The Dems need to stop picking candidates who look like they just floated off the Island of Misfit Toys. Also, would it kill them to run people who are A) married, B) have a family with more than one kid, and C) not divorced at least once. I think, sub-consciously, it is turning voters off that so many of the candidates that the Dems keep running who don't have a tangible vested stake in the future. Run more people like Parnell, fewer like Ossoff.

Career bureaucrat? He got his masters degree in 2013 and he's been CEO of his own media company since then. The only bureaucratic experience he has is as an aid, which is a glorified internship.

It is a huge stretch to call a 30 year old former aid a career bureaucrat.
