Collins campaign team wasting no time going on the attack. They published this ad about an hour after Derek Dooley entered the primary field. This is the first legit attack ad Iāve seen from the GOP primary and could mark the beginning of a more contentious race moving forward.
Not even an assassin's bullet in Butler, PA could get Derek Dooley off the sidelines. He's no fighter.

šØRep. Marjorie Taylor Greene says she is not running for governor in 2026. #gapol
Iām always dismayed by constant rumors about me and people who claim I am doing things, yet have not spoken to me about anything I am doing or not doing. If you have not heard it straight from me, then it is likely not true. If I was running for governor the entire world would.

šØ John King suspends his campaign for US Senate.
I got into the U.S. Senate race to beat Jon Ossoff, not distract from the mission. Right now itās clear thereās little path forward to the nomination, so today Iām suspending my campaign. Iāve spent my entire life in the arena as a lawman, soldier, and first Hispanic elected.
