#NEWS: Senator-elect Jon @ossoff will be sworn-in to the U.S. Senate tomorrow at roughly 4:30 p.m.

He will be sworn in on Hebrew scripture that belonged to historic Atlanta Rabbi Jacob Rothschild, a civil rights activist and close ally of Dr. King. #GAPol #GASen
. @Ossoff’s election marks a historic generational shift in the Senate.

He will take office as the first Senator born in the 1980’s, the youngest Senator in GA history, the youngest Dem. Senator since @JoeBiden, & the first Jewish person to serve GA in the Senate. #GAPol #GASen
Congressman Lewis instilled in @Ossoff the conviction to fight for justice & human rights, as well as a deep commitment to the historic bond between Jewish people & the Black community — an alliance symbolized & invigorated by the joint victories of Sens.-elect Ossoff & Warnock.
. @Ossoff will be escorted into the Senate for the swearing-in ceremony by Senator @CoryBooker, one of the Senate’s most ardent champions for civil rights and criminal justice reform.

Tune in here to watch tomorrow: https://www.senate.gov/floor/index.htm
