Washington, D.C.—Following news of a special election runoff in Georgia between Raphael Warnock and Kelly Loeffler for a seat in the U.S. Senate, People For the American Way President Ben Jealous released the following statement:

“Tonight, Democrat Raphael Warnock advanced his campaign for a U.S. Senate seat in Georgia’s crowded special election. People For the American Way continues to support Warnock, whose election to the Senate would be a historic achievement in Georgia. Warnock understands the needs of working families in the state, and is rightly focused on their futures.
