Rep. Mike Collins, who has represented Georgia’s 10th District in the U.S. Congress since 2023, recently shared a series of posts on social media reflecting on significant political events and policy issues. Collins, born in Jackson, Georgia in 1967 and a graduate of Georgia State University, used his platform to address both historical anniversaries and current debates.
On July 13, 2025, Collins recalled the previous year’s Republican National Convention and the shooting of former President Donald J. Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. He wrote: “One year ago, I was at the RNC Convention standing in line to make Donald J. Trump our next president when I got the news from Butler, PA.
The president had been shot, but from the pain the shooter brought that day rose a message we hold in our hearts.
Fight! Fight! Fight!” (Posted July 13, 2025)
