Doug Collins celebrates his win at Tuesday night’s election party at Luna’s.
U.S. Rep-elect Doug Collins, R-Gainesville, has a while yet before he can catch some breaths following 16 months of stiff campaigning throughout Georgia’s newly drawn and heavily Republican 9th District. Collins, who won the seat in the U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday night, is looking at freshman orientation in Washington over the next few weeks, organizing a staff and otherwise setting up his office on Capitol Hill. He said Wednesday he had spoken earlier in the day with other newly elected representatives.
