Rep. Mike Collins’s (R-Ga.) campaign is rolling out a grassroots organization in all of Georgia’s 159 counties in support of his Senate bid as he vies for the GOP nod to take on Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.).

The news of the 159-county organization, which was first shared with The Hill, includes 413 county captains across the state and is aimed at turning out low-propensity voters. The campaign noted the last few Republicans to have county-level mobilization campaigns who were successful in statewide reelection bids were President Trump and Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R).

In a press release, the Collins campaign touted the initiative’s creation, noting the Georgia Republican had only been in the race for two weeks, and calling it “a testament to the appeal of Collins’ message, authentic brand, and his team’s experience in the state.”

The Collins campaign noted it included leaders who had previously served on Trump’s and Kemp’s county-level mobilization efforts. 

Collins is vying against Rep. Buddy Carter (R-Ga.) and former football coach Derek Dooley, seen as Kemp’s preferred candidate, for the Republican nomination to challenge Ossoff next year.

Collins has gained several endorsements from his congressional delegation in addition to state legislative leaders, which include some of Kemp’s allies.

Meanwhile, Carter has a financial edge so far with more cash on hand than Collins. Carter ended the latest quarter with $4 million in the bank while Collins, who’s been in the race for several weeks, ended the last quarter with $1 million. Carter loaned himself $2 million in the last quarter as he puts some of his own financial resources into the race.

Dooley, meanwhile, enjoys connections to Kemp’s political orbit. Collins and Carter have both hammered the former football coach hard since Dooley announced, setting up what’s expected to be a hotly contested primary.
