Brian Jack emerged victorious in the Republican primary runoff for Georgia’s 3rd Congressional District, securing a significant lead over his Democratic opponent for the upcoming general election in November. The Associated Press officially declared Jack as the winner of the race, solidifying his position as the likely future representative for the district.
The primary runoff saw Jack and former Republican Georgia state Senator Mike Dugan as the top two contenders, with neither reaching the required 50% threshold in the initial primary election held on May 21. This resulted in a runoff between the two candidates, ultimately leading to Jack’s triumph.
Throughout the campaign, tensions escalated between the candidates, with Dugan attempting to paint Jack as a “D.C. insider” due to his involvement in former President Trump’s campaigns and receiving financial support from outside the state. In response, Jack criticized Dugan for his previous backing of a transportation bill in 2015 that raised the gas tax to fund infrastructure improvements.
Following his victory, Jack is poised to succeed the current representative, Rep. Drew Ferguson, who announced his decision not to seek re-election. With election analysts predicting a “safe” or “solid” Republican win in the district, Jack is set to become the newest member of Congress representing Georgia’s 3rd Congressional District.
The upcoming general election in November will see Jack facing off against his Democratic opponent, with high prospects of securing the seat based on the district’s historical voting patterns.
