Please see below for a statement from Democratic Party of Georgia Chair Charlie Bailey on the results of the GOP U.S. Senate runoff:
“Mike Collins is an extreme Donald Trump loyalist who has spent his time in Congress voting with MAGA Republicans even when it hurts Georgians.
“In Congress, Collins voted to double health insurance premiums for more than a million Georgians while giving the wealthiest Americans and corporate America yet another tax break and is also under investigation by the bipartisan House Ethics Committee for allegedly using taxpayer dollars to illegally pay his staffer’s girlfriend.
“Collins would rather use Georgians’ taxpayer dollars to build a fancy ballroom for Donald Trump than build rural hospitals for hardworking Georgians. Between now and November, we will hold Collins accountable for his toxic record and ensure that Senator Jon Ossoff is decisively re-elected in November.”
