Policy Positions
●
Economy
2 positions · 1 inferred from partyWould you support raising the federal minimum wage to $17 per hour?
Strongly Support
Voting RecordOssoff voted Yea on the amendment to HCONRES14 (April 5, 2025) specifically to ensure the Senate could raise the federal minimum wage to $17/hour by simple majority vote, which directly addresses this question. Fact-check this →
Would you support imposing tariffs of 25% or more on imports from countries that do not meet US labor and environmental standards?
Neutral · estimate
Inferred from partyNo direct evidence found in Ossoff's record on tariffs conditioned on labor/environmental standards specifically; his votes opposing broad Trump tariffs (SJRES49, SJRES88) suggest skepticism of tariffs as a general tool, but Democrats often support targeted labor/environmental tariffs, leaving his position on this specific conditioned-tariff question ambiguous and requiring party-informed inference toward mild support.
◆
Environment
2 positions · all inferred from partyWould you support legislation requiring the US to reduce carbon emissions by 50% below 2005 levels by 2035?
Support · estimate
Inferred from partyNo direct vote or statement on a 50% emissions-by-2035 target exists in the record; Ossoff consistently voted against Republican efforts to roll back EPA regulations and supported the Inflation Reduction Act's climate provisions, and his campaign platform lists environmental and clean-energy priorities, suggesting support for aggressive emissions reduction targets, though no specific 50%-by-2035 commitment is documented.
Would you support ending new federal permits for oil and gas drilling on public lands and offshore waters?
Support · estimate
Inferred from partyOssoff voted NAY on amendments to cancel Biden's federal land oil/gas leasing ban (SCONRES14, 2021), NAY on allowing continued federal land oil/gas leasing revenues (SCONRES5, 2021), and NAY on disapprovals of BLM land withdrawals from oil/gas leasing (HJRES131, 2025; HJRES140, 2026), forming a consistent pattern supporting restrictions on federal drilling permits, though no single vote directly enacts a full ban on new permits.

Foreign Policy
2 positions · 1 inferred from partyWould you support maintaining or increasing current levels of US foreign assistance to allied and developing nations?
Support
Voting RecordOssoff has a consistent voting pattern supporting foreign assistance: Voted YEA on the HR4 amendment (2025) to restore rescinded international disaster assistance funds, YEA on Ukraine emergency appropriations (HR7691, 2022), YEA to prevent disruption of Ukraine security assistance (HCONRES14, 2025), and NAY on multiple amendments to cut or restrict foreign aid. Fact-check this →
Would you support increasing the federal defense budget by more than 5% per year above the rate of inflation?
Oppose · estimate
Inferred from partyNo direct vote or statement on defense budget growth above inflation exists in the record; Ossoff's voting pattern shows opposition to large defense spending increases without offsets (voted NAY on amendment to express Senate support for adequately funding national defense relative to China competition, S1260, 2021-05-20), and as a Democrat he generally favors controlled defense spending, suggesting opposition to large above-inflation increases, though his support for Ukraine aid and military-related bills adds some nuance.

Gun Policy
2 positions · all inferred from partyDo you support a federal policy prohibiting the manufacture and sale of semi-automatic rifles with detachable magazines to civilians?
Support · estimate
Inferred from partyNo vote or statement directly addresses a semi-automatic rifle ban; Ossoff's voting record shows consistent support for gun safety measures (e.g., voted Yea on Bipartisan Safer Communities Act cloture, Nay on blocking VA background-check reporting, Nay on disapproving ATF pistol-brace rule), suggesting support for stricter gun regulation, but none of these votes directly enact or block a ban on semi-automatic rifles with detachable magazines, so this is inferred from a pattern of related votes and Democratic party alignment.
Would you support requiring background checks for all firearm purchases in the US, including private sales and gun show transactions?
Support · estimate
Inferred from partyOssoff voted Yea on cloture for the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (S2938), which enhanced background checks for gun buyers under 21 — a related but partial measure — and voted Nay on amendments to block VA reporting to the NICS background check system, forming a consistent pattern of support for expanding background checks, though no single vote directly enacts universal background checks for all private sales and gun show transactions.

Healthcare
2 positions · 1 inferred from partyWould you support federal legislation requiring Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices directly with pharmaceutical manufacturers?
Strongly Support
Voting RecordOssoff voted Yea on the July 1, 2025 amendment to HR1 specifically 'to cut the price of prescription drugs under Medicare in half,' and voted Yea on the Inflation Reduction Act (HR5376, August 7, 2022), which enacted Medicare drug price negotiation — directly addressing this question. Fact-check this →
Would you support expanding Medicare to cover all Americans regardless of age?
Support · estimate
Inferred from partyOssoff has consistently voted to expand and protect Medicare coverage (including Yea on the 2025 amendment to HR1 to cut Medicare drug prices and expand Medicare dental/vision/hearing, and Yea on the Inflation Reduction Act's Medicare provisions), and his campaign platform lists expanding Medicare broadly, but he has not explicitly sponsored Medicare-for-All or universal Medicare expansion legislation, placing him as a supporter rather than a champion of full Medicare-for-all expansion.

Immigration
2 positions · all inferred from partyWould you support significantly increasing federal funding for border security infrastructure and personnel at the US southern border?
Neutral · estimate
Inferred from partyOssoff voted YEA on the 2024 emergency supplemental for border security (S4361 cloture) and a 2021 bipartisan reserve fund for immigration enforcement (SCONRES14), and his campaign platform lists 'Strengthen border security,' but he consistently voted NAY on amendments to fund or protect physical barrier/wall contracts, producing a mixed record that supports personnel and broader funding while opposing physical infrastructure. Fact-check this →
Would you support a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants who have lived and worked continuously in the US for more than 5 years?
Support · estimate
Inferred from partyNo vote or statement directly addresses a citizenship pathway for long-term undocumented immigrants; Ossoff's voting record shows a mixed immigration posture (supporting mandatory detention expansions and S.5 while opposing stricter enforcement amendments), and his campaign platform mentions 'strengthen border security' alongside general progressive goals, suggesting support for earned legalization consistent with mainstream Democratic positions but without explicit championing of this specific policy.
⚑
Taxes
2 positions · all inferred from partyWould you support raising the top federal income tax rate to 50% for individual income exceeding $10 million per year?
Support · estimate
Inferred from partyNo direct vote or statement on a 50% top rate exists in the record; Ossoff consistently voted against upper-income tax cuts (e.g., NAY on SCONRES5 extending individual rate reductions, NAY on capital-gains rate cuts) and his campaign platform emphasizes progressive taxation, supporting a party-informed inference that he would back higher taxes on the ultra-wealthy, though he has not actively championed a 50% rate.
Would you support raising the federal corporate income tax rate from 21% to 28%?
Support · estimate
Inferred from partyOssoff voted Yea on HR5376 (Inflation Reduction Act, 2022), which included a 15% corporate minimum tax, and voted Nay on the same bill's amendment to increase the corporate tax rate from 21% to 28% (which was overwhelmingly rejected 1-97, indicating it was a procedural/messaging vote), and voted Nay on the 2026 reconciliation bill (S2) that cut corporate taxes; together these votes reflect a pattern of supporting higher corporate taxation consistent with Democratic Party alignment, though no direct vote on a 28% rate increase is in the record.

Voting Rights
1 positionWould you support federal legislation requiring all states to automatically register eligible citizens to vote when they interact with government agencies?
Strongly Support
Campaign PlatformOssoff sponsored the Right to Vote Act (a voting rights expansion bill), voted Yea on cloture for the DISCLOSE Act (S4822), voted NAY on the voter photo ID requirement (S1383 cloture), and his campaign platform explicitly lists expanding voting access as a priority, all strongly indicating support for automatic voter registration; no direct vote on AVR legislation was found.
