Ossoff Claims Credit for $127.4 Million Georgia Military Project After Opposing Final Funding Bill

Summary
$127.4 million for a Fort Benning school and $8 million for Fort Stewart are among the Georgia military projects Jon Ossoff is promoting, even though he voted against the final MilCon-VA package that funded them.
Ossoff had backed the measure in committee and as a standalone bill, but opposed final passage after it was folded into a broader spending package that his office said would raise premiums for more than 1 million Georgians and strip 300,000 of health coverage.
His campaign argues Georgia's 2026 military construction budget—the state's highest in 15 years—was secured through his work as the senior Democrat on the Senate Military Construction subcommittee.
The dispute lands in a tough reelection race, where Republicans are casting the vote as part of a broader pattern after another lawmaker accused Ossoff of touting a veterans bill he neither sponsored nor voted on.
