Sen. Kelly Loeffler’s (R-Ga.) Senate campaign is putting six figures behind a new digital ad casting Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.) as a "career politician" and linking him to prominent Democrats, as the primary heats up between two Republicans running for Senate in a race that also includes several viable Democratic contenders.
“A typical career politician who says one thing and does another, who opposes term limits, who supported millions for Common Core and millions more for Sanctuary Cities and politically correct restrictions on our Second Amendment Rights,” the narrator in the ad states. “That’s typical politician Doug Collins. Doug Collins is just not who you think he is.”
The ad plays over pictures of former Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). It closes with a picture of Collins embracing former Georgia state house Rep. Stacey Abrams (D-Ga.), who is a top contender to be Biden’s running mate in November.
The ad comes as polls show Loeffler in a tough election fight with Collins and Democrats Matt Lieberman and Raphael Warnock.
A recent Public Opinion Strategies poll found Collins leading the field with 19 percent, followed by Loeffler at 18, Lieberman a 17 and Warnock at 9.
The top two finishers in the primary, regardless of party, will go head-to-head in January if one candidate does not win a majority in November.
Loeffler was appointed to the Senate last year by Gov. Brian Kemp (R) to replace former Sen. Johnny Isakson (R), who stepped aside for health reasons.
President Trump had wanted Kemp to appoint Collins to the Senate – a dynamic Collins has sought to exploit in his own attack ads against Loeffler.
In a recent ad, Collins's campaign swiped at Loeffler for donating nearly $1 million to Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) when he was the GOP presidential candidate in 2012. Loeffler gave "NOTHING" to Trump’s campaign in 2016, Collins tweeted.
"Loeffler’s big money talks: but it was silent for Donald Trump," Collins said.
New York Stock Exchange CEO Jeff Sprecher, who is married to Loeffler, donated $1 million last month to America First Action, the largest outside group supporting Trump’s reelection.
LOL! Loeffler must really be desperate.
She’s a loser with a bottomless wallet.
Hoping GA doesn’t let this woman buy a Senate seat.
She is a corrupt liar.
Yep.
That will probably come as a surprise to Pelosi, Sanders, and Biden.
Ha ha ha go away and sell your portfolio you crook.

uh, oh.
Is she THAT stupid and clueless?
KELLY is a FRAUD!! PLUS a STOCK CHEAT!!
If I knew nothing else about Loeffler, this dishonesty would make me vote for Collins. If I lived in Georgia.

loeffler has got more projection going than a drive in theater
Aha! Georgia native here. Just received last week two large (standard mail) postcards at the house from the America First PAC.
It was curious. Why would this PAC be mailing postcards that attacked Joe Biden on his support for China? Seems like the time for such a postcard was later in the campaign season.
Well, I think this thread may give me the answer.
The mailing were made to show that Loeffler’s husband is supporting Trump directly in Georgia.
Did any other Georgia voter get those postcards? Curious
If Loeffler and Collins finish in the top two in the November special election they’ll have a runoff election in January 2021. And you KNOW the DemocRATS will vote for Loeffler overwhelmingly in that runoff. That will tell you everything you need to know...but it will be too damned late.
I never thought of that.
Stupid system in my opinion :(

She’s only been there 5 minutes...
Collins has been in Congress since 2013
“Loeffler’s record is 100%:”
