Where they stand
From each campaign's own website, summarised in plain English, with a quote where they gave one; under an issue, Senate votes for those who have cast them. Full detail and sources on each profile: Jon Ossoff · Mike Collins.
Economy and cost of livingOssoff: stated · Collins: stated
Jon Ossoff (DEM, incumbent)
Ossoff says he has worked to lower housing costs and to bring advanced manufacturing jobs and billions of dollars of investment to Georgia. He also points to the bipartisan infrastructure law, which he says is expanding broadband and upgrading ports, airports, roads, bridges and water systems statewide.
Collins says he would cut regulations, support free markets, bring jobs back to the U.S. and invest in technical education and skilled trades. He says he wants lower interest rates and mass deportations to bring down housing costs, and cites his PERMIT Act to speed up permitting for homebuilding.
“I'll fight to cut regulations, unleash the free market, and create an economy where businesses can grow, workers can thrive, and families can get ahead again.”
Collins says he wants to cut wasteful spending and make government smaller and more accountable. He says he would crack down on fraud, including Medicaid scams, and has urged the House to pass conservative spending bills to rein in federal agencies.
“In the Senate, I'll fight to make government smaller, smarter, and accountable to the American people.”
Ossoff says he has fought to cap insulin costs for seniors at $35 a month and to improve health care for pregnant women, babies and children. He says he has upgraded health care facilities across Georgia and pushed to strengthen VA health care for Iraq and Afghanistan veterans.
Collins says he would crack down on Medicaid fraud and abuse. He co-led the bipartisan TRANQ Research Act to combat synthetic opioids and introduced the VORTEX Act to address opioid overprescribing to veterans.
Social Security and MedicareOssoff: stated · Collins: no position
Jon Ossoff (DEM, incumbent)
Ossoff says he helped pass the $35 a month cap on insulin costs for seniors. His campaign says he opposes repealing that cap and opposes cutting Social Security, and it criticises his opponent Mike Collins on both.
Collins says he wants mass deportations. He highlights passing the Laken Riley Act, which he says protects Georgians from illegal immigrant crime, and criticizes spending on resettling illegal immigrants.
Energy and climateOssoff: stated · Collins: stated
Jon Ossoff (DEM, incumbent)
Ossoff says the infrastructure law he supported invests in the resilience of Georgia's coast, to help communities prepare for storm surge, coastal flooding and tropical storms.
Collins says he opposes federal emission mandates and EPA rules he considers costly. He introduced the Diesel Truck Liberation Act to stop EPA emission mandates on truckers and farmers, and introduced a resolution to overturn an EPA power plant wastewater rule. He also criticizes Biden-era spending on electric vehicle chargers.
Crime and policingOssoff: stated · Collins: stated
Jon Ossoff (DEM, incumbent)
Ossoff says he has passed laws to strengthen public safety and to fight corruption and improve security in U.S. prisons. He says he led bipartisan investigations into corruption in federal prisons and the sexual assault of female inmates.
Collins says he passed the Laken Riley Act to protect Georgians from crime by illegal immigrants. He is endorsed by many Georgia sheriffs, and he invited Cherokee County Sheriff Frank Reynolds as his guest to the State of the Union.
Collins says he wants to invest in technical education and skilled trades. His bipartisan Aviation Workforce Development Act lets families use 529 plans for technical and career training. He voted for the Parents Bill of Rights Act.
Foreign policy and defenseOssoff: stated · Collins: stated
Jon Ossoff (DEM, incumbent)
Ossoff says he has passed bipartisan laws to expand veterans' access to mental health care and to upgrade child development centers and barracks for military families and enlisted personnel. He also says he led investigations into the mistreatment of military families in privatized housing.
Collins says he supports peace through strength and an America First foreign policy. He says he would stand by allies and project strength, but wants to end blank checks to other countries and have allies carry more of the burden.
“We need an America First foreign policy that prioritizes our citizens, protects our national interests, and ensures our allies carry their share of the burden.”
Elections and ethics in governmentOssoff: stated · Collins: no position
Jon Ossoff (DEM, incumbent)
Ossoff describes himself as an investigator who exposes corruption and abuses of power, and says he has passed laws to fight corruption in U.S. prisons. His campaign criticises Mike Collins over his claims about the 2020 election and over ethics investigations.

Read this before comparing the sides. Ads that attack an opponent use these techniques far more often than ads that introduce a candidate, whoever runs them, so the side running more attack ads shows a higher share. A technique is about wording, not about whether an ad is true. These are online ads only (Meta and YouTube), not television.
How a group is placed: by its own filings with the Federal Election Commission. A group is with a candidate when it reported spending to support that candidate, or to oppose the other one in the general election. The parties' own committees are with their nominee. Spending against a candidate in a primary places a group nowhere, and neither does our reading of its ads: a group with no such filing is listed as not placed. The sponsor table gives the reason for each.
Decide what counts
Not everyone would call every technique a problem. Untick the ones you'd call ordinary persuasion and the count updates.
36% of the 176 ads here use at least one of the techniques ticked below (63 ads).
Leaving out the softer ones (loaded language, glittering generalities, slogans, exaggeration, repetition): 30% of ads.

Money in this race
From FEC filings for 2025–26. Outside spending is money a group spends on its own about a candidate — TV and online ads, mail, canvassing. It is not a donation to the campaign, and the candidate does not control it. Supporting means it was spent to help that candidate win; Opposing means it was spent to defeat them, usually on attack ads. Groups report it within 24 or 48 hours as the election nears. Raised is the campaign's own fundraising, as of its latest quarterly report. Largest donors come from each outside spender's own FEC receipts, with each donor's share of its itemized receipts; donors under $100,000 are not named. People are shown with the employer and occupation they reported. A donor that is itself a political committee is shown with its own largest donors. Companies and nonprofits don't report their funders to the FEC, so the trail ends there, and the page says so.

I'm a Vietnam veteran, Purple Heart recipient. That's me with Jon Ossoff. I was his guest at the Capitol last year.
When Ossoff said he'd stand with veterans, I believed him. Then he voted against funding for veterans, and he took credit anyway. I thought I could trust him, but I found out I can't.
I sure don't think that Jon Ossoff will not serve us. I'm Mike Collins, and I approve this message.

🚨 Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA), the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in Georgia, is out with a new campaign video sharply attacking Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) over his political positioning ahead of their 2026 general election matchup.
In the video, Collins says Ossoff "running around as a moderate is one of the biggest con games in political history," arguing the senator's voting record does not match his public image. Collins, who describes himself as "a blue collar, small businessman" and is the founder and CEO of a trucking company, also calls Ossoff "nothing but a trust fund kid who has never had a real job in his life." Those characterizations are Collins' opinion, expressed in a campaign attack video, and do not reflect the documented record: before his election to the Senate in 2021, Ossoff worked as a national security aide for Georgia Rep. Hank Johnson and served as CEO of Insight TWI, a media production company producing internationally broadcast investigations of corruption and war crimes.
The Georgia Senate race is widely considered one of the most competitive in the country. Ossoff entered the general election cycle with a commanding financial lead, having raised more than $77 million as of March 2026, while two major super PACs have pledged a combined $64 million for the race. Collins secured the GOP nomination after a primary runoff victory aided by a last-minute endorsement from President Donald Trump, who carried Georgia 50.7% to 48.5% in 2024.

🚨 The publisher of the Atlanta Jewish Times is calling out Sen. Jon Ossoff, saying the Georgia Democrat's record on Israel is "abysmal" and that he has misled the state's Jewish community about his positions.
Michael A. Morris penned an open letter to Ossoff on August 12, 2026, citing specific votes he says run counter to Israel's interests. Morris wrote that Ossoff "backed some of Senator Sanders' resolutions to cut off Israel's weapons in late 2024, again in July 2025, and on April 15, 2026, you went furthest yet, voting to block every sale on the floor." One specific vote cited is S.J.Res.41, Roll Call Vote 454, from July 30, 2025, in which Ossoff voted to block the transfer of thousands of assault rifles to Israel as a protest against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's policies.
Morris, speaking about his letter, says Ossoff has failed to support Israel and has misrepresented his positions to Jewish constituents. Republican U.S. Senate candidate Rep. Mike Collins also released a statement slamming Ossoff over his Israel voting record following the publication of the letter. Ossoff has not released a direct statement addressing the specific points raised in Morris's open letter. Multiple political handicappers describe Ossoff as the Democrats' most vulnerable senator heading into 2026.
Do you think a senator's voting record on foreign military aid should be a defining issue in a Senate race? 👇

🚨 Georgia Republican Senate nominee Rep. Mike Collins is calling Sen. Jon Ossoff "the poster child" for the Democratic Socialists of America movement, citing Ossoff's public endorsement of Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed following El-Sayed's narrow primary victory.
Collins argued that Ossoff's support for El-Sayed reveals where the Georgia incumbent stands ideologically, also claiming Ossoff voted with Sen. Bernie Sanders 92% of the time. El-Sayed, an epidemiologist and former Wayne County health director, overcame roughly $65 million in outside opposition spending, including more than $30 million from AIPAC, to win the Michigan Democratic primary by approximately one point.
El-Sayed has stated he is "not technically or practically DSA" and has not received a formal DSA endorsement, though democratic socialist figures including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Sanders campaigned on his behalf. El-Sayed advances to the November general election against Republican Mike Rogers.
Ossoff, who won his Senate seat in January 2021 by just over one point, is considered by Republicans to be one of the most vulnerable Democratic incumbents on the ballot in 2026. Two major super PACs have already pledged a combined $64 million to the Georgia Senate race.
What do you think: will Ossoff's endorsement of El-Sayed become a defining issue in the Georgia Senate race? 👇

🚨 Sen. Jon Ossoff has publicly criticized "vast sums of corporate and billionaire money" in politics, but a review of FEC filings shows he has received nearly half a million dollars from billionaires, including George Soros and his son Alex Soros.
Ossoff is slated to headline a fundraiser at the Water Mill estate of Alex Soros and Huma Abedin in the Hamptons, with Hillary Clinton also listed as a co-host. The trip includes at least three fundraising stops on the same weekend. A Newsweek analysis of itemized contributions found that California donors, at roughly $7.35 million, outpaced Georgia donors, at roughly $6.86 million, out of more than $81 million raised for reelection. That puts in-state contributions at approximately 18 percent of his total haul.
Rep. Mike Collins, Ossoff's Republican general election opponent, posted about the contradiction, highlighting the senator's stump speech criticizing outside money in elections while referencing Georgia communities like Garden City, Albany, and College Park. Collins raised about $2.1 million in Q2 2026. The Ossoff campaign, for its part, says the average Q2 contribution was $42, with nearly 90 percent of more than 474,000 donations from April through June coming in at $100 or less.
Ossoff holds the only Democratic Senate seat up for reelection in a state carried by President Trump in 2024, making it a top national Republican target. Reports indicate the Hamptons swing is also giving the Wall Street donor class a chance to evaluate Ossoff as a potential 2028 presidential candidate. What do you think: does a candidate's donor list contradict their campaign message? 👇

An ad is on this page because its own "Paid for by" line is a campaign in this race; or it comes from a national Senate group and ran mostly in GA; or it ran mostly in GA and names a candidate — unless its sponsor is a campaign for some other office. Ads from outside groups appear alongside the campaigns' own.
Campaigns run one text as many separate ads. Identical text from the same sponsor is one card here, marked with its number of variants.
A technique is a specific rhetorical move in the wording, found by our model and explained in one line. It is not a claim that the ad is false.
Claims are checked when a reader asks: press "Check this ad's claims" on a card. Running a check and seeing its verdicts are part of Semblen Pro, because each check costs money to run; anyone can see which claims an ad makes. The ten ads with the most money behind them in each race are checked ahead of time.
Claim verdicts say what the cited sources say. A verdict that an ad is wrong or misleading is shown only when it cites an established fact-checker or an institutional record — Congress, a federal agency, a court — and its confidence is not low; a weaker one is not shown at all. Each verdict shows what it rests on and how confident it is. If we got one wrong, press Disagree: a verdict that readers dispute and no one defends comes down.
Video ads come from the campaigns' own YouTube channels; the transcript is analyzed. Meta ads are analyzed on their text; their video and images are not, yet.
