AUGUSTA, GA (WFXG) – Georgia State Representatives Brian Prince and Gloria Frazier held a press at conference at the Richmond County Democratic Committee Headquarters on Thursday, Dec. 10, before Vice President Mike Pence’s "Defend the Majority" rally in Augusta.

The two Democratic state reps encouraged people to vote for Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock in the upcoming senate runoffs on Jan. 5. “With the senate being majority republic right now. This may be our only opportunity, again our only opportunity, to maybe change that,” said Rep. Prince.

The representatives encouraged people to bring friends and neighbors to vote, emphasizing the importance of the runoff elections. If Sen. Loeffler and Sen. Perdue remain in office, Republicans will retain control of the Senate. Rep. Prince said our nation depends on President Elect Joe Biden being able to do his job, and that it will be easier with a Democratic Senate instead one where Republicans hold the majority.
