CAIR Action Lists Senator Jon Ossoff as 'Preferred' Candidate in Georgia Senate Race
CAIR Action, the political arm of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, has designated Senator Jon Ossoff as a 'preferred' candidate in its 2026 Georgia voter guide. This designation comes as Senator Ossoff seeks re-election against Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Collins. The organization's support is attributed to Senator Ossoff's voting record, specifically his repeated votes to restrict weapons sales to Israel and his promotion of narratives that are perceived by some as demonizing the Jewish state. While not a formal endorsement, the 'preferred' status indicates CAIR Action's desire for Georgia voters, including those who advocate for the destruction of Israel, to support Senator Ossoff. This move is notable given Senator Ossoff's public statements to Jewish constituents affirming his 'ironclad' commitment to Israel, contrasting with the messaging that has garnered support from anti-Israel activists and groups.
