Tell Congress: Stop Trump’s Illegal Plan to Destroy the US Forest Service Contact Congress today!

Ossoff: "I have zero interest in running for president in 2028. I love serving the state of Georgia. Let's keep our eyes on the ball, folks. We need to win decisively in Georgia and every battleground state and every competitive US House district this fall."
