On Monday, Rep. Mike Collins (R) announced he is entering the Georgia Senate race after signaling his plans to go against first-term Sen. Jon Ossoff (D).
“I don’t know who Jon Ossoff really works for, but it sure as heck isn’t Georgia,” Collins says in the roughly minute-long video.
“It’s time to send a trucker to the U.S. Senate to steamroll the radical left, deliver on President Trump’s America First agenda, and put the people of Georgia back in the driver’s seat,” concludes Collins, whose family owns a trucking company.
Watch:
Collins is the son of the late Rep. Mac Collins (R-Ga.), who also sought a run for Senate in 2004 but lost in the primary to former Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.).
Georgia is among Senate Republicans’ best pickup opportunities in 2026.
Georgia Governor Brian Kemp declined to run for the seat. Rep. Buddy Carter (R-Ga.) is also vying for the role, according to The Hill.
The president has not yet signaled who he would endorse, but his backing would prove influential in the primary.
