DPG Statement on MAGA Extremist Rep. Mike Collins Entering U.S. Senate Race

July 28, 2025

Democratic Party of Georgia Chair Charlie Bailey released the following statement after Rep. Mike Collins, a MAGA extremist who has faced criticism for his “racist, antisemitic or xenophobic” comments, officially entered the Georgia U.S. Senate race:

“Mike Collins is a MAGA extremist who wants to raise the retirement age, voted against full Social Security benefits for first responders, propped up dangerous antisemetic rhetoric, and supports a federal abortion ban with no exceptions. This already messy primary will expose just how out of step Collins is with Georgia voters as Republicans duke it out to prove who is more in line with Trump’s toxic agenda, deep Medicaid cuts, and economic chaos.”
