Biography
Collins is the Republican nominee for Georgia's Senate seat. He is running against an incumbent, so voters can compare his record with Ossoff's Senate votes.
Our source file lists no prior public office for Collins, and this profile does not fill that gap from campaign advertising. Until those details are confirmed, the most reliable material is his campaign's account and reporting from the Associated Press.
The Georgia Senate race hub collects the matchup.
Policy positions
This section describes the federal issues a Georgia senator votes on and points to Collins's campaign for his own positions.
The economy and the cost of living
Pew Research Center's September 28–October 4, 2026 survey found 84 percent of voters call the economy very important, the highest share of any issue. The Senate votes on spending, tax law, and trade. Collins's campaign is the source for his own proposals.
Health care
Health care is very important to 68 percent of voters. The Senate votes on Medicare, Medicaid, and the Affordable Care Act. Collins's campaign is the source for his own proposals.
Immigration and the border
Immigration is very important to 59 percent of voters and 72 percent of Republicans. Senators vote on border funding and immigration law. Collins's campaign is the source for his own proposals.
Abortion
Abortion is very important to 46 percent of voters overall. Abortion law is set mainly by states, but the Senate votes on federal legislation and judicial nominees. Collins's campaign is the source for his own position.
Democracy and elections
Seventy-three percent of voters call the future of democracy very important. Senators vote on federal election law and confirm the judges who hear election cases. Collins's campaign is the source for his own position.
The 2026 race
Collins faces Democratic incumbent Jon Ossoff, who has held the seat since 2021. Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026, and the Georgia voting guide lists the deadlines that come first.
Republicans hold 53 Senate seats and Democrats 47. Democrats need a net gain of four to reach 51, and a 50–50 chamber would be controlled by Republicans because the vice president breaks ties.
The Georgia Senate race hub tracks the matchup, the people desk lists every profile, and the Senate hub tracks the majority.
