dc.description.abstractIn January 2021, Jon Ossoff became the first Jew elected as a United States senator in Georgia, as well as the first Jew to be elected to the United States Senate since the 19th century. Ossoff won his seat in a run-off election against incumbent Senator David Perdue. In the same run-off election Georgia also made history by electing its first African American senator, Raphael Warnock, who ran against the incumbent Kelly Loeffler.
