Republican Mike Collins has secured a victory in the election for a U.S. House seat in Georgia, successfully claiming his second term for the 10th District. This district encompasses regions situated to the east and northeast of Atlanta, reflecting a diverse and vibrant constituency. Collins, who operates a trucking firm and is the son of the late U.S. Representative Mac Collins, emerged victorious against Democrat Lexy Doherty, who is making her initial foray into politics as an educational consultant.

Collins has garnered attention for his bold remarks and active presence on social media, and he is well-known for his strong support of former President Donald Trump. His political stance includes a firm approach to immigration issues, highlighted by his introduction of legislation aimed at mandating the federal detention of immigrants charged with crimes, a response prompted by the tragic slaying of college student Laken Riley.

The announcement of Collins’ win was made at 8:31 p.m. EST, solidifying his position and influence within the region. As he embarks on another term, Collins is expected to continue championing his agenda while navigating the complexities of legislative responsibilities.
