Rep. Mike Collins, who has been serving in the U.S. Congress representing Georgia's 10th district since 2023, shared insights and experiences through a series of tweets on February 17 and 18, 2025. Born in Jackson, Georgia in 1967, Collins is a graduate of Georgia State University.

On February 17, Collins expressed his commitment to maintaining the Port of Brunswick as a leading automotive port. In a tweet following a lunch meeting with the Georgia Ports Authority and the Army Corps of Engineers, he stated: "Great lunch with @GaPorts and the Army Corps of Engineers at the Port of Brunswick. As @TransportGOP Water Subcommittee Chair, I am dedicated to ensuring that Brunswick remains the top automotive port in the country and continues to be a leading hub in the Southeast."

Later that day, Collins acknowledged harbor pilots' crucial role in America's water economy through another tweet. He highlighted their efforts under various weather conditions by saying: "Harbor pilots are the unsung heroes of our water economy. Rain, snow, sleet—these folks are moving the goods that our country depends on." He also expressed gratitude for experiencing their work firsthand.

On February 18, Collins referenced an event from history related to political scandal. He noted: "On #ThisDayInHistory in 1924, Secretary of the Navy Edwin Denby resigns as a result of the Teapot Dome scandal." This tweet recounted how Denby influenced President Harding to transfer control over Navy oil reserves.
