He said that his state needs leadership in Washington as he wants to work with President Trump and help make Georgia be a better state.“I’m running because our state needs leadership in Washington D.C., and professional politicians like Jon Ossoff are the problem,” Dooley said, via On3. “Leadership matters. Our state doesn’t have a voice in the U.S. Senate who reflects Georgia values because Ossoff is more concerned with protecting his own political future."Opposing everything the Trump administration is working to accomplish, and repeatedly voting with the radical left. Unlike Ossoff, I’ll work with President Trump to implement his agenda, support his Administration, and move our country forward.”Derek Dooley is running against incumbent Jon Ossoff, as the former college football coach is running on a slogan of 'Georgia First.'Dooley is not the first former college football coach to enter politics.
