Rep. Mike Collins, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Georgia's 10th district, has expressed his views on various issues through a series of tweets. He replaced Jody Hice in this role in 2023. Born in Jackson, Georgia, Rep. Collins holds a Bachelor's degree from Georgia State University.

On April 8, 2025, Rep. Collins announced his leadership in introducing the "Staged Accident Fraud Protection Act." He tweeted, "I'm proud to lead the Staged Accident Fraud Protection Act w/ @RepBrandonGill to protect innocent truck drivers from con artists who stage crashes seeking a payday. This drives up insurance costs for truckers which get passed onto consumers. Prosecute these criminals accordingly!"

Expressing gratitude towards industry associations, Rep. Collins tweeted on the same day, "Thank you to @TRUCKINGdotORG, @GAtrucking, @OOIDA, @TCANews, and @TX_TA for your support!"

Later, Rep. Collins articulated his stance on tax policy, lauding previous tax cuts. He stated, "President Trump's tax cuts were rocket fuel for manufacturing in America. Letting them expire is non-negotiable."
