The mother of the 8-year-old girl who was killed in 2020 in Atlanta is demanding that Rick Jackson take down a campaign ad featuring her anguished 911 call. “I was emotionally overwhelmed. Hurt. It just wasn’t OK. I felt like my pain was being used.” #gapol

The split-screen approach in Dalton crystallized a defining question of the midterm elections: Will Trump help Republican candidates more than he hurts them? Rick Jackson and Mike Collins both have very different views of that challenge. #gapol ajc.com/politics/2026/10/tru…

Trump’s return to Georgia today is one of the defining moments in the campaign, raising a bigger question that could shape the November outcome: Will Trump help Republicans more than he hurts them? #gapol ajc.com/politics/2026/10/tru…

Never a big fundraiser, Mike Collins closes the quarter with one of the smallest war chests of any Senate candidate in a competitive race in the nation. And it’s one of the thinnest campaign checkbooks at this stage in the race in recent Georgia history. ajc.com/politics/2026/10/jon…

Top Democrats and Republicans agree on one thing heading into November: Georgians should vote as if Donald Trump is on the ballot. #gapol ajc.com/politics/2026/10/tru…

Even before Rick Jackson disrupted Georgia’s political landscape by announcing his surprise candidacy for governor, he was best known by the shorthand “healthcare executive.” But that description of the billionaire barely scratches the surface. #gapol ajc.com/politics/2026/10/her…

Just in: President Donald Trump is returning to Georgia on Friday for a campaign rally aimed at energizing the Republican ticket. #gapol ajc.com/politics/2026/10/pre…

It’s almost time for the first debate between Mike Collins and Jon Ossoff in Georgia’s U.S. Senate race. The Republican is looking to make a splash, but expect Ossoff to come out swinging. #gapol ajc.com/politics/2026/10/oss…

Call them the deciders. They helped reelect Republican Gov. Brian Kemp and Democratic U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock. Now they could send Democrat Jon Ossoff back to the U.S. Senate and put another Republican in Georgia’s top job. #gapol ajc.com/politics/2026/10/geo…

Welcome to the other Atlanta. Population: about 5,400. ajc.com/politics/2026/10/i-f…

The paved road abruptly ends near a sprawling collection of rusting military vehicles off a lonely Texas highway, where a dirt trail splinters toward hundreds of acres of scrubland that have improbably been thrust into Georgia’s race for governor. #gapol ajc.com/politics/2026/09/why…

Another notable Georgia Republican is backing Democratic U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff’s bid for a second term. #gapol ajc.com/politics/2026/09/geo…

The Georgia GOP and RNC want the State Election Board to take emergency action before early voting begins Oct. 13, citing Princeton research that found a privacy vulnerability in Georgia’s voting system that could allow someone using public records and AI tools to connect individual voters with their ballots. #gapol

Inside the Thune-Kemp event for Mike Collins that some attendees said felt like a fundraiser mixed with a rescue mission. Collins raised about $400k from the Atlanta gathering last night. #gapol ajc.com/politics/2026/09/rep…

New Engagement PAC just launched a seven-figure campaign tying Collins and Republican gubernatorial nominee Rick Jackson to President Donald Trump’s healthcare agenda. #gapol ajc.com/politics/2026/09/new…

When Gov. Brian Kemp and Senate Majority Leader John Thune headline a fundraiser Thursday for Mike Collins, the closed-door gathering will carry stakes well beyond whatever high-dollar checks are forked over to help the GOP Senate nominee that day. #gapol ajc.com/politics/2026/09/mik…

Republican Rick Jackson has quietly dropped two campaign lawsuits filed against Lt. Gov. Burt Jones during their bitter primary fight as he seeks his former rival’s endorsement for governor. #gapol ajc.com/politics/2026/09/gop…
