Incumbent Senators Ossoff and Collins Emphasize Constituent Services in Tight Re-Election Bids
Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff and Republican Senator Susan Collins are highlighting their constituent-service records as they face competitive races for re-election.
Both senators entered the campaign season as the most vulnerable members of their parties. Ossoff is running for a second term in Georgia against Republican Congressman Mike Collins, while Collins seeks a sixth term in Maine against former state legislative leader Troy Jackson. Their campaigns are banking on the reputation they have built for helping voters back home, hoping that this focus will sway undecided voters in November.
Why it matters
The outcome will signal how much voters value direct assistance from incumbents amid a polarized national climate.
