Georgia Insurance Commissioner John King (R-GA) kicked off his U.S. Senate bid on Monday, leaning into his credentials in the military and law enforcement while portraying Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) as out of step with the state’s values.

Georgia Insurance Commissioner John King has became the second major Republican to enter the 2026 race to challenge Democratic U.S. Sen Jon Ossoff.

Representative Buddy Carter became the first Republican to enter the primary field to take on Senator Jon Ossoff of Georgia, one of the nation’s most vulnerable Democrats.
