Mike Collins

Mike Collins is a Georgia congressman and a candidate for the U.S. Senate. He spent a significant portion of his life operating a trucking business. His candidacy is noteworthy as Republicans aim to reclaim a Senate seat in Georgia. Recent analysis of federal motor vehicle data by ProPublica indicates that truckers associated with Collins' business have exhibited a higher incidence of unsafe driving and speeding violations per mile compared to similar companies. This finding has emerged as he campaigns for the Senate, highlighting a potential contrast between his public statements on road safety and the operational record of his former business. Collins is a figure in the upcoming Georgia primary elections, with his campaign and background being scrutinized in the lead-up to the general election.
