I know Daily Kos is officially endorsing Ossoff and has raised over $500,000 for him. I am part of a volunteer group that will soon be deciding whether to fall in line or consider a different primary candidate. Most of us are familiar with Ossoff’s endorsements and the money he is raising, but a couple of the folks are big Slotin supporters.
We generally agree with the idea that we want to unite behind the candidate who is most like to win this Republican-leaning seat, but to convince folks that Ossoff is the guy, I’d really like to understand more about how he was picked over Slotin. Slotin has a history in the district and he seems like a normal liberal. I couldn’t dig up much info about him. Is he bad, or is it just that Ossoff is really good? And are we confident a guy who doesn’t live in the district will have a chance to win this?
My initial feeling is Ossoff is the guy, but I need to be prepared to convince others (and I need to make sure I’m convinced). Thanks for your help!
