Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.) is looking to take his work serving the country to the Senate, as he officially launched his 2020 Senate bid for Georgia.
The Republican lawmaker made the announcement early Wednesday after giving it “serious deliberation.”
“For months, I have given serious deliberation to the role I should serve that would best benefit [Georgia], the country and [Donald Trump],” Collins wrote on Twitter, adding, “Today, I have officially launched my campaign for Senate to do just that.”

The Republican Congressman will have a primary challenge against Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.), who was appointed by Gov. Brian Kemp (R-Ga.) after Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.) stepped down from the Senate at the end of 2019 due to health issues.
Collins — a strong supporter of President Donald Trump — is currently one of the eight Congressional Republicans who is on the president’s team for the Senate impeachment trial.
