Sources re-checked September 25, 2026 · How we research
- Incumbent Jon Ossoff (D), first elected in a 2021 runoff, is seeking a second term. Mike Collins, a U.S. Representative for Georgia's 10th Congressional District since 2023, won the June 16, 2026 Republican primary runoff over Derek Dooley after neither candidate cleared 50% in the May 19 primary. Elbert Bartell is running as an independent, and Christina Loren Clement is running as a write-in candidate registered with the Republican Party. Ossoff is the only Democratic senator up for re-election in 2026 in a state Donald Trump carried in 2024. Ballotpedia lists independent Chris Capparell among candidates who will not appear on the Nov. 3 ballot.[1]

Issue evidence — side by side
Recorded votes, documented positions and candidates’ own words are shown with sources. “In their own words” quotes a candidate on the topic without inferring a stance. Votes describe specific bills or motions; they do not establish overall support or opposition to a broad issue. A dash means our research has no evidence on that topic, not that the candidate has no position.

Research notes & limits
Biography gaps: Elbert Bartell, Christina Loren Clement and Chris Capparell have no campaign sites or news profiles; their biographies rest on Ballotpedia profiles and Candidate Connection surveys, and Capparell's was not expanded because Ballotpedia lists him as withdrawn or disqualified and not on the Nov. 3 ballot (it also lists independent write-in Cassandra Easton, who has no entry here). Ossoff's biography uses his Senate website, Ballotpedia and Wikipedia; no campaign 'About' page was loaded.
