In 2016, Ossoff was an executive generator for a documentary movie through Insight TWI for BBC Three; the film exposed atrocities committed by ISIL in Iraq.

He was hired by prominent figures such as Congressmen Hank Johnson and John Lewis, and state House Democratic Leader Stacey Abrams. Ossoff increased over $8.3 million by early April of that year. The election is viewed by several as an early test of how the first few months of Donald Trump’s presidency may have shifted the voter interest of educated suburban voters who live in swing districts. Trump under-performed in districts with demographics similar to the 6th during the 2016 election. In the April 18, Ossoff got with about 48.1% of the vote, where Republican candidate Karen Handel received 19.8%.

According to The New Yorker, Ossoff has “progressive positions on women’s issues and health care” and “moderate stances on jobs and security.” Ossoff has been clearly critical of President Donald Trump, criticizing his divisive approach to government and saying “I have great respect for the office. I don’t have great personal admiration for the man himself.”

After Trump delivered out a tweet the day before the April 19 calling Ossoff a “super Liberal Democrat” who wanted to “protect criminals, allow illegal immigration and raise taxes,” Ossoff rejected Trump’s claims and called him “misinformed.” FactCheck.org found that Trump’s claim was a distortion and that there was no proof that Ossoff had ever pushed for any broad-based tax hikes.

Although, Ossoff said that” he would be willing to work with Trump on issues of mutual interest, such as infrastructure spending”. He said, “If the administration introduces a fiscally responsible infrastructure bill, I’ll work in a bipartisan way to make sure it delivers transformative solutions to Georgia.” After Trump’s revealing of distributed information to Russia, Ossoff said of impeachment that “I don’t think we’re there.

Ossoff supports the right to abortion and passage to contraception. He opposes the law that would “allow insurance companies to discriminate against women.”
Ossoff opposes prison sentencing for peaceful drug crimes. His website says, “Violent crime, murder, rape, human trafficking, and corruption are rampant, while we spend billions locking up passive drug offenders.

Ossoff supports comprehensive settlement reform that would both encourage implementation along the Mexican border and provide a path to citizenship for some undocumented foreigners. This position is commonly consistent with the position of most congressional Democrats and a number of prominent Republicans, including President George W. Bush and Senator John McCain.
