JON "MAMDANI" OSSOFF?

Georgians want nothing to do with socialist or communist policies.

Someone needs to remind our Senator, Jon Ossoff, of that.

The Mayor-Elect of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, is a self-proclaimed socialist who supports extreme policies such as defunding the police and sides with anti-Israel extremists who spread antisemitic hate. It’s a disgusting, dangerous ideology that threatens to bankrupt and destroy the financial capital of the world.

And it’s the same set of beliefs that our senior Senator, Jon Ossoff, supports.

Here are just some of the receipts proving that Jon Ossoff has swallowed Mamdani’s communist poison:

Ossoff refers to the America First agenda as an “authoritarian.” So does Mamdani.

Ossoff wants to put men in women’s locker rooms and force girls to compete against biological men in sports. So does Mamdani, who dreams of making New York City a “trans sanctuary.”

Ossoff supported Joe Biden’s wide-open southern border and opposes Trump’s America First efforts to remove criminal illegal immigrants from our nation. So does Mamdani, who has committed not to work with ICE.

Ossoff abandoned the Jewish community by siding with pro-Hamas terrorists and voting against bills supporting Israel. Mamdani also sides with Hamas, spewing antisemitism and calling for the arrest of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Ossoff wants illegal immigrants on taxpayer-funded health care and other benefits. So does Mamdani, who calls getting illegals free unemployment benefits as one of his “greatest victories.”

We deserve senators who defend policies that are in Georgians’ best interests, not the interests of AOC, Zohran Mamdani, and Bernie Sanders. Ossoff wants to New York City our Georgia, and we aren’t having it.

This week, I took a stand to ensure that your hard-earned dollars aren’t used to fund Mamdani’s communist experiment in New York.

I introduced the Moving American Money Distant from Anti-National Interests (MAMDANI) Act, a bill that will restrict the flow of federal taxpayer dollars to New York City while Zohran Mamdani, a communist, is mayor. In United States of America, a nation built on freedom, taxpayer dollars should not be used to fund communism and antisemitism – period. If New Yorkers want communism, we should let them have their wish and not artificially prop them up with our successful capitalist system.

Georgia is the number one state in the nation to do business for 12 years in a row, and we aren’t about to bail out a city that threatens to destroy the values that got us here.

I’m calling on Georgia’s Senators to support this bill and make it clear where they stand, because right now, it’s with them – Mamdani, AOC, and Bernie Sanders – not you.

Buddy's BRiefing

On this week's edition of Buddy's Briefing, we discuss the trip I took to Head Start, YMCA, and Good News at Noon to help and listen to how they've been impacted by the Ossoff-Schumer shutdown.

Monday, November 3, 2025: After having flown back to Washington on Saturday afternoon, I headed to the studios of CNN Sunday morning, where I was on a panel on their State of the Union show with, among others, former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. After discussing this week’s upcoming elections with the panel, I headed to the Fox News studios where I had a live on camera interview with Mike Emanuel to discuss the on-going federal government shutdown. I’m back home this morning and up early as I have a live virtual interview on Newsmax as we discuss the shutdown and President Trump’s call to end the filibuster. Afterwards, I head to Baxley in Appling County to the Headstart Center, where I meet with family members of students that have been impacted by the shutdown of this facility due to the federal government shutdown. The impact of the shutdown is being felt by many now, as this program that provides two meals per day to children up to 4 years of age has stopped, and parents are now missing work because of a lack of childcare services. After speaking to WTOC-TV about my visit, I head over to the Senior Citizens Center located at the same facility to visit with them. Next, I head to a meeting with county leaders before heading to our Savannah district office where I have a virtual meeting with our communications consultant and staff before having a phone interview with the Savannah Morning News to discuss the shutdown. Later, I head to American Legion Post 184 in Thunderbolt where I visit with the Vets Council during their weekly meeting and then head to downtown Savannah to the Cultural Arts Center. Tonight was truly a great experience as I was honored to attend an event sponsored by Chabad of Savannah featuring former Gaza Hostage Moran Stela Yanai as she told her story of being abducted from the Supernova music festival on October 7thand being held captive by the terrorist group Hamas for 54 days. Her testimony of how her faith kept her going through this horrific ordeal was one of the most inspirational I have ever heard.

Tuesday, November 4, 2025: I’m in Atlanta this morning, and I join in on our all-staff conference call during my drive to Covington in Newton County, east of metro Atlanta, where I attend the Covington Rotary meeting. As a Rotarian myself, I am very appreciative of this club and all the Rotarians across the world who volunteer their time to serve their communities and the world. After a virtual conference call with the Republican Main Street Caucus, where we hear from Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz, I head to Good News at Noon in Gainesville, in Northeast Georgia, where I visit and volunteer at this homeless ministry that has served this community since 1987. After a television interview with 11 Alive in Atlanta to discuss my visit, I head to Gwinnett County, northeast of metro Atlanta, and during the drive, I have a number of calls with staff. Once in Duluth, I attend the Gwinnett County Chamber of Commerce Business After Hours event before heading to campaign watch parties in Sandy Springs and Roswell, north of metro Atlanta.

Wednesday, November 5, 2025: I’m at the Atlanta YMCA this morning as I join the staff of the Head Start program for a tour of their facility and to discuss the potential impact of the government shutdown on this program. This is the second Head Start program I have visited this week, but unlike the program in Appling County in Southeast Georgia, that has had to temporarily close, the Atlanta program is able to stay open thanks to loans from philanthropists in the area. After a television interview with WSB to discuss my visit, I have a call with various Hospital CEOs throughout the state to discuss the shutdown and its impact on their organizations. Next, I head to the airport and fly to Washington, and head straight downtown, where I speak at the Restoring Renaissance: Renewing Domestic Manufacturing for a Stronger Future hosted by Mulberry Industries event. Once at our office on Capitol Hill, I meet with the CEO and founder of Othram, Inc, to learn more of the outstanding work this start up company does with DNA analysis and law enforcement.

Thursday, November 6, 2025: I’m back in Atlanta this morning and head to the 73rd Annual ARMAC Military Appreciation Luncheon hosted by the Cobb County Chamber of Commerce to honor local service members and veterans. Featuring Maj. Gen. Konata “Duece” Crumbly, the Assistant Adjutant General of the Georgia Air National Guard as the guest speaker, this great event brought business and community leaders together with military and veterans to celebrate and recognize the dedication, talent, and sacrifices of our brave men and women who serve in our armed forces. After heading back to the Coast of Georgia, I head to Darien, where I attend the McIntosh County Taste of the Wild benefiting Boys & Girls Club of Southeast Georgia/McIntosh County.

Friday, November 7, 2025: After filming this week’s edition of Buddy’s Briefing at our Brunswick office, I head to Savannah in Chatham County, and during the drive, I have a call with our Chief of Staff and District Director before heading to a meeting with public safety officials from Chatham County. Afterwards, I head to our Savannah district office, where I have a meeting with representatives from the American Ambulance Association (AAA), including AAA Star of Life recipient Doug Struble, who was honored for his 83-minute cardiac arrest save, where the patient survived with no impairment. Next, I have a meeting with a developer in Liberty County to discuss issues with the Army Corps of Engineers, and afterwards, I head to Pooler in West Chatham County, where I meet with new Pooler Chamber of Commerce CEO Kate Miller. My final visit of a very busy week is to the American Legion Post 184 in Thunderbolt for the Annual Chatham County Veterans Gala, where I am honored to present a flag flown over the U.S. Capitol to Sam Currie in his honor for being named the Chatham County Veteran of the Year for 2025. I also present a flag flown over the U.S. Capitol in honor of Dr. Faye Prescott, who has been named Grand Marshall of Savannah’s 79th Veterans’ Day Parade.
