Jon Ossoff, the Democratic candidate running for a House seat in Georgia’s 6th district, proposed to his longtime girlfriend Alisha Kramer on Friday, according to a report from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Ossoff has cited Kramer throughout his campaign as the reason he does not live in the 6th district.

He has said he will move once Kramer graduates from medical school.

Because of his girlfriend's prominent role in the campaign, Ossoff has faced direct questions about when the longtime couple plans to tie the knot.

“So when are you going to marry her?” CNN anchor Alisyn Camerota asked in an interview last month.

“Well, I don’t want to give anything away,” Ossoff responded with a smile. “But I think I can reasonably say that’s more of a personal question. I'll give you a call when I have something to announce.”

Ossoff and Kramer had been dating 12 years before he popped the question. Kramer, a third-year medical student at Emory University, grew up in Atlanta, Ga. and attended Georgetown University with Ossoff.

Ossoff, who once served as a congressional aide, will face off with Republican Karen Handel in the special runoff election on June 20.
