He's a strong candidate with John Lewis' backing but it's a crowded field. Also, the only thing the Repub's got on him is he's a Star Wars fan. So he's got the nerd vote locked up. once the below story hits twitter he's going to get a lot more attention and support.



Political Ad Attacks Congressional Candidate For Cosplaying as Han Solo

The Congressional Leadership Fund, a super PAC dedicated to keeping Republican control in the House of Representatives, released an attack ad against Jon Ossoff, a 30-year-old small business owner and former congressional aide. Ossoff is one of 18 candidates running to replace Tom Price in Georgia’s 6th district. He’s considered by some to be a strong grassroots candidate in the special election, with Daily Beast reporting his campaign has raised over $1.85-million so far, but he’s still not a sure thing in the traditionally conservative district. Still, that hasn’t stopped CLF from deciding he should be their first target. . . . .
