David Perdue for his seat. "We believe the battle that began in Georgia in 2017 will be won in Georgia in 2020 when we flip the Senate and win the White House," Ossoff says in a campaign video Tuesday announcing his bid for U.S. Senate. In 2017, a special election was called after Tom Price vacated his seat in Georgia's sixth district to serve in President Donald Trump's administration. Georgia will have another Senate seat on the ballot in 2020 after Georgia Sen. Johnny Isakson announced that he will resign at the end of the year due to health concerns. Brian Kemp will appoint a replacement for Isakson until a special election held in November 2020 will determine who will serve the remainder of his term.
