Mike Collins

“The Ossoff campaign is building unstoppable grassroots momentum to push back against Republican dark money, power our massive and winning coalition over the next four months, and resoundingly defeat Trump loyalist Mike Collins at the ballot box come November,” Ossoff campaign manager Ellen Foster told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

In a statement dismissing its financial disadvantage, Collins’s campaign claimed the Democratic senator relies on out-of-state donors while the Republican challenger has the support of ordinary Georgia residents.

“Mike Collins’ support comes from everyday Georgians because they know he will always put Georgia first,” Collins campaign manager Josh Siegel said.

The Federal Election Commission filing showing Ossoff’s finances will be made available later Wednesday.

Ossoff’s second-quarter fundraising haul comes about $10 million below the figure attributed to Democratic Texas state Rep. James Talarico, who outraised Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton by a significant margin ahead of their election showdown in November. Talarico raised $30 million in the last three-month period, compared to Paxton’s $9 million sum.

The Senate race in Georgia is one of the more unique midterm elections this year, considering President Donald Trump won the state in 2024. Trump endorsed Collins before he won the Republican primary runoff election last month.
