The actress Alyssa Milano is doing get-out-the-vote work for the Democrat fighting to take the suburban Atlanta congressional seat vacated by Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price, she and her colleague Christopher Gorham tweeted on Monday.
The election is set for April 18, and early voting began Monday.
Turnout in special elections is typically low, meaning that a big run-up of early votes can make all the difference on Election Day. The election in April will winnow the field to two candidates, who will compete in a runoff in June ― unless, that is, one of the candidates can win at least 50 percent outright in the first round. Democrat Jon Ossoff is polling strongly; with enough miles on Milanos ride, 50 percent is not inconceivable, and would be a devastating rejection of President Donald Trump deep in Republican territory.
I think people are shocked and happy to see us at their doorstep, but I also think they understand how passionate we are about gaining this seat once we show up and ring the bell, Milano, who has had roles in Charmed, Whos the Boss? and Melrose Place, told HuffPost in an email.
Thank you, Alyssa.
I'm glad Pepperidge Farm named a tasty cookie after you.
