Financial records have emerged that reveal Democrat Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) has been quietly cashing checks from the very billionaire class he claims is poisoning the system.
The records have surfaced while the vulnerable senator is sounding alarms about corruption and “vast sums of corporate and billionaire money” corrupting American politics.
Ossoff faces a tough re-election fight in 2026 and has been described by CNN as the “most endangered Senate Democrat.”
He told the left-wing “Pod Save America” podcast that the political system was “corruption on steroids” thanks to wealthy donors unleashed by Citizens United.
However, Federal Election Commission filings have revealed that Ossoff has taken nearly $500,000 from billionaires, including more than $154,000 just this year.
“We have to focus on…the vast sums of corporate and billionaire money in our political system,” Ossoff said on the podcast. “That is why ordinary people are so ill-served by elected officials and by Congress.”
His own donor list tells a very different story.
A Who’s Who of Billionaire Donors
Among Ossoff’s elite contributors are:
• Members of the Soros family
• Eric Schmidt, former Google CEO
• Reid Hoffman, LinkedIn co-founder and mega-donor
• James Cox-Chambers, billionaire media mogul
• Henry Laufer, hedge-fund billionaire
• And dozens more, totaling more than 70 billionaires since his first congressional run in 2017.
Ossoff boasts that he rejects “corporate PAC money,” but that’s a technicality.
According to OpenSecrets, his top individual contributors work for corporate giants including Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta.
PACs representing lawyers, lobbyists, agribusiness, labor, and various industries have also pumped money into his campaign.
In 2019, Ossoff railed against “wealth becoming concentrated in fewer and fewer hands,” warning that wealthy political donors can “spend limitless amounts in secret…to manipulate elections.”
He now appears more than comfortable campaigning with billionaires like Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, whose estimated net worth exceeds $3.5 billion.
Just last month, Ossoff featured Pritzker in a fundraising email.
Ossoff declined to comment when asked about the glaring contradiction.
Out-of-State Money Dominates His Campaign
Ossoff continues to market himself as the face of “grassroots” politics, boasting an average contribution of $36 from 233,000 donors in his latest filing.
But the filings tell another story:
• More than 80% of his money comes from outside Georgia
• Over half of his maxed-out donors live in CA, NY, or the DC-Maryland-Virginia area
• During his first Senate race, 60% of his funding was from out of state
That’s a problem in a state President Donald Trump won in 2024, even if only narrowly, and where out-of-state liberal influence remains deeply unpopular.
Vulnerable Democrat in a Red-Trending State
Ossoff won his seat in 2021 after defeating Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) in a razor-thin runoff fueled by a national fundraising machine.
Now, with the MAGA movement surging and Georgia drifting back toward the GOP, Ossoff faces a steep uphill climb.
He has tried to thread the needle by denouncing “billionaires and corporate money” while simultaneously relying on them to bankroll his campaign.
That contradiction is likely to become a centerpiece of Republican attacks heading into 2026, especially in a state where authenticity matters and where Democrats cannot win without projecting some modicum of independence from the national left-wing donor class.
For now, Ossoff continues to preach anti-billionaire populism on podcasts, while cashing billionaire checks behind the scenes.
