The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) endorsed Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) on Thursday in the 2026 Georgia U.S. Senate race, offering high-profile support in a consequential bid to unseat Democrat Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA), Breitbart News has exclusively learned.
Collins, who represents Georgia’s 10th congressional district and owns his own trucking company, is an early frontrunner up against Gov. Brian Kemp (R)-endorsed Derek Dooley, a first-time candidate, former University of Tennessee football coach, and lawyer; and Rep. Buddy Carter (R-GA), a pharmacist and longtime GOP lawmaker representing the state’s 1st congressional district. Republicans are vying to snag the seat of Ossoff (D-GA), who was first elected in 2021 and has been dubbed the “most vulnerable” Democrat up for reelection.
“Im proud to stand with Mike Collins as he takes the fight for conservative and Christian values to the U.S. Senate, “ CPAC President Matt Schlapp said. “Georgia deserves real conservative leadership — and I have no doubt Mike Collins is going to send Jon Ossoff packing.”
