What Polls, GOP Endorsements Reveal About Jon Ossoff’s Cross-Party Appeal
Jon Ossoff received support from two Republican mayors in Georgia amid his reelection bid against GOP Representative Mike Collins.
Senator Jon Ossoff has garnered support from two Republican mayors, Scott James Matheson and Julie Smith, in his bid for reelection against Mike Collins in Georgia. This comes at a time when the race is considered competitive, with both parties viewing it as a significant battleground for the 2026 midterm elections. Despite recent polls showing Ossoff leading Collins among Democrats and independents, the race remains tight, with more Republicans considering voting for Ossoff than Democrats backing Collins.
The mayors' endorsements highlight Ossoff's focus on constituent services, which have benefited their constituents in rural South Georgia—a historically conservative region. Ossoff expressed gratitude to the mayors for their support, emphasizing the commonalities among Georgians and the strong bipartisan coalition they are building.
