Rep. Mike Collins, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Georgia’s 10th district since 2023, recently shared several statements on social media reflecting his views and accomplishments. The tweets offer insight into his stance on economic policies, historical reflections, and commentary on societal changes.
On May 14, 2025, Collins expressed pride in receiving the Defender of Economic Freedom Award. He emphasized his achievement by stating “This isn’t little league and there are no participation trophies in Congress. I’m proud to have received the Defender of Economic Freedom Award and earned a 100% rating on @CFGfoundation’s Economic Scorecard for limiting government and supporting economic growth.” This recognition highlights his commitment to limiting government intervention and promoting economic development.
Later that day, Collins questioned societal changes in the United Kingdom with a brief tweet: “The UK used to put people in jail for saying this. What changed?” The post included a link but provided no further context or details about what specific statement he was referring to.
On May 15, 2025, Collins took a moment to reflect on historical events by commemorating the anniversary of the Quartering Act passed by Parliament in 1765. He noted “On this day in history in 1765, Parliament passed the Quartering Act. The act required American colonies to house British soldiers in barracks or, if needed, public buildings like inns and taverns. In Massachusetts, soldiers camped on Boston Common, leading to rising tensions.” His tweet served as a reminder of past grievances that contributed to colonial unrest.
Mike Collins is currently serving as a U.S. Congressman for Georgia’s 10th district after succeeding Jody Hice in 2023. Born in Jackson, Georgia in 1967 and holding a BA from Georgia State University since 1990, Collins continues to reside in his hometown.
