Collins defeats Dooley for GOP U.S. Senate nomination
(Atlanta Journal-Constitution) U.S. Rep. Mike Collins is one step closer to moving across the U.S. Capitol to the Senate after winning the Republican runoff on Tuesday night.
Collins easily beat former football coach Derek Dooley according to unofficial election results. The Associated Press called the race for Collins at shortly after 8:30 p.m.
A two-term member of Congress, Collins will face incumbent U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff in the November general election. Ossoff, a Democrat, is the No. 1 target of Republicans who hope to flip his seat and preserve their Senate majority.
