Ossoff Campaign Communications Director Ellie Dougherty released the below statement on the results of the GOP U.S. Senate primary: 

“After Brian Kemp’s crushing refusal to run for Senate, Trump puppets Collins and Dooley have made themselves terminally inseparable from the toxic president. Now the failed congressman who is only a congressman because his daddy was a congressman and the failed coach who was only a coach because his daddy was a coach limp into a monthlong race-to-the-bottom that will surely leave both broke and unelectable. Meanwhile, the juggernaut Ossoff campaign will continue building insurmountable momentum to win decisively in November.” 

Collins and Dooley’s Own Words Prove They’ve Been Dragged To the Right To Appease Trump:

• Mike Collins:
  
  
  • Collins has labeled himself one of the most extreme members of Congress, consistently voting for Donald Trump’s agenda.
    
    
  • Collins told Georgians that he’s “not worried about the tariffs” and he thinks “it’s good” despite the effects they’re having on hardworking families.
    
    
  • Collins said that Trump is doing a “fantastic job” on the war in Iran.
    
    
  • Collins voted against extending critical Affordable Care Act tax credits.
    
    
• Derek Dooley:
  
  
  • Dooley said at a campaign event “I’m going to support every policy that President Trump and his administration ran on.”
    
    
  • Dooley praised Trump’s tariffs as “a good tool” responsible for “great deals” even as Georgians suffer from skyrocketing prices.
    
    
  • Dooley said he’s “very supportive” of Trump’s war in Iran.
    
    
  • Dooley opposed extending critical Affordable Care Act tax credits.
