SALT LAKE CITY – U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders issued the following statement Friday in support of Jon Ossoff, the Democratic candidate for Congress in Georgia’s 6th Congressional District:

“Let me be very clear. It is imperative that Jon Ossoff be elected congressman from Georgia’s 6th District and that Democrats take back the U.S. House. I applaud the energy and grassroots activism in Jon’s campaign. His victory would be an important step forward in fighting back against Trump’s reactionary agenda.”
