Washington, DC – Last week, Council for a Livable World’s Board of Directors unanimously voted to endorse Jon Ossoff (D-GA) for the U.S. House of Representatives. Mr. Ossoff is running to fill the seat vacated by Tom Price (R), who was recently confirmed as the new Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Council for a Livable World Executive Director John Tierney, who served nine terms in Congress, issued the following statement about the endorsement:

“I am pleased to announce Council for a Livable World’s wholehearted endorsement of Jon Ossoff. Our team was deeply impressed with Jon’s intelligence and deep understanding of key national security issues. As a Member of Congress, Jon will be a champion for progressive national security values such as nuclear weapons reductions, sensible Pentagon spending and the critical importance of diplomacy.”

After receiving the endorsement, Jon Ossoff commented:

“I’m honored by this endorsement. My most solemn responsibility in Congress will be to keep Georgians safe with a tough, smart national security policy that is principled, guided by our best intelligence and fiscally responsible.”
