Background

Mike Collins is a Republican congressman representing Georgia's 10th congressional district, a SAFE Republican seat in north-central Georgia. Collins drew national attention in May 2026 when Fellowship PAC disclosed a $350,000 independent expenditure supporting his re-election, part of a broader $3 million-plus spend by the crypto-linked PAC that also targeted Texas Senate, Alabama, and Louisiana races.

Collins was first elected in 2022, succeeding Jody Hice, who left the seat to run unsuccessfully for Georgia Secretary of State. He sits on the House Armed Services Committee and has positioned himself as a loyalist within the House Republican conference. The Fellowship PAC investment suggests he faces either a primary challenge or a competitive general election cycle, though GA-10 has trended solidly Republican for over a decade.

Fellowship PAC's spend on Collins is part of a pattern of crypto-aligned political investment targeting House Republicans across multiple states simultaneously, using post-Q1 disclosure windows to time announcements outside peak news cycles.
