MIKE COLLINS ANNOUNCES BEN TARBUTTON, III AS FINANCE CHAIRMAN

Jackson, Georgia β€“ Today, Georgia’s Conservative Workhorse Mike Collins announces Ben Tarbutton, III as Finance Chairman for Mike Collins for U.S. Senate.

Tarbutton serves as the president of the Sandersville Railroad Company; vice president of the southern region for the American Shortline and Regional Railroad Association; and as vice chairman of the Washington County Industrial Development Authority. He is the past president of the Georgia Railroad Association; past chairman of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce; past chairman of the University System of Georgia Board of Regents, and Leadership Georgia.

β€œGeorgia deserves a U.S. Senate candidate who’s been on the ground, fighting for our values, and delivering results β€” and that’s Mike Collins. In just a short time in Congress, he’s hit the ground running, passing two bills signed into law by two different presidents. When fentanyl was flooding our streets, Mike led the fight with the TRANQ Act to give law enforcement the tools they need to succeed. And after the tragic murder of UGA student Laken Riley by an illegal alien, Mike stepped up and passed the Laken Riley Act to crack down on violent offenders and secure our border,” said Ben Tarbutton, III. β€œMike is a fighter, a doer, and a true conservative who will unite our party, defeat Jon Ossoff, and bring Georgia’s voice back to the U.S. Senate. I’m proud to serve as his Finance Chairman and help lead a campaign that’s built to winβ€”and hope you’ll join me as we do just that.”


“Having Ben in this fight with me is a testament to the campaign we are building and how we are pursuing the serious task ahead,” said Mike Collinsβ€œTogether, we will replace Jon Ossoff, putting the needs of Georgia first in the U.S. Senate, and I’m grateful to have his trusted leadership on our team.”
