The Quiet Habit Fueling Jon Ossoff’s Success

Patricia Murphy: “At some point — or at many points — during the work week, Sen. Jon Ossoff sets aside a block of several hours dedicated to calling Georgians who are not expecting a call from him. The calls go to pastors, small-town mayors, farmers or whomever his last batch of calls suggested he call next. They may be Democrats or Republicans or not political at all.”

“The cold calls are a habit Ossoff described to me early in his time in the Senate as a way to not just stay connected to the state while he was in Washington, but also to get a better understanding of the people and issues he did not yet know well as a first-term member of Congress.”
