SPEAK UP. U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., is more than happy to hear people complain about President Donald Trump’s policies. But as he prepares for one of the most competitive Senate races in America next year, he’d like to start hearing those complaints publicly, starting with Atlanta’s business community.

Ossoff challenged members of the Rotary Club of Atlanta on Monday to “use your voices” against the Trump administration — and not just within the relative safety of his U.S. Senate office.

“I have had leaders in every sector of the economy … come into my office for the last five or six months and tell me that they’re terrified, but they’re not going to say anything because they don’t want a target on their back,” Ossoff said. “There is not safety in silence. … You’ve got to use those rights that we have in our Constitution in order to have an impact.”

If that sounds familiar, it’s because Georgia’s other Democratic U.S. senator, Raphael Warnock, issued the same challenge when he spoke to the Rotary Club back in May.

“I know that when you’re running a business you want to stay as far from politics as you can,” Warnock told them. “But there comes a moment when … we have to raise our voices.”

The speeches highlight the tough spot Georgia’s business leaders face when balancing the preferences of Georgia’s Democratic U.S. senators with the policies of the state’s GOP governing majority.

The most prudent option is often to keep a low profile, especially when trying to navigate the complicated regulatory policies of the state and federal governments. But that’s become harder to do amid today’s intensely polarizing politics.
