Osoff and Talarico are considered the two top Senate Democratic fund-raisers this election cycle, with Ossoff raising $77.3 million for his reelection campaign and Talarico raising $68.6 million for his campaign of win the seat now held by GOP Sen.

“That’s exactly why I need James fighting alongside me in the U.S. Senate,” Ossoff wrote in one of the emails.
