Summary
Georgia Division of Family & Children Services (DFCS) Director Candice Broce criticized Senator Jon Ossoff’s new ad on foster care, accusing him of using the issue for campaign credit. Ossoff’s team responded by calling Broce an “unqualified partisan political hack” and accusing her of “dangerous incompetence.” The dispute centers on Ossoff’s record on foster care and his investigation into the Georgia foster care system. Broce claims Ossoff has not delivered meaningful help to fix the system’s problems, while Ossoff’s team points to his oversight work and legislation as evidence of his commitment to the issue.

As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
Senator Jon Ossoff released an ad on foster care, touting his work on the issue. Georgia DFCS Director Candice Broce responded with criticism, accusing Ossoff of using the issue for campaign credit. Ossoff’s team fired back, calling Broce an “unqualified partisan political hack.” The dispute highlights the familiar pattern of politicians using vulnerable issues for campaign purposes. The question remains whether Ossoff’s efforts will lead to meaningful change for Georgia’s foster care system.
