The Georgia Senate election takes place Tuesday, November 3, 2026, with Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff, who has served since 2021, seeking a second term against Republican Mike Collins, who has represented Georgia's 10th Congressional District since 2023. If neither candidate receives a majority of the vote, a runoff election will take place Tuesday, December 1, 2026, according to Wikipedia. Here is a look at both candidates' positions, with equal coverage of each.
Decisions made by the US Senate affect many Latino families, including immigration policies, the cost of living, access to healthcare, and civil liberties. Although Hispanics represent a relatively small share of Georgia's electorate, the state was decided by approximately 12,000 votes in the 2020 presidential election, according to UCLA LPPI.
These estimates vary according to the sources and methodologies used, particularly the distinction between eligible and registered voters. Each figure is therefore attributed to its respective organization.
No third-party candidates were verified in the sources consulted.
Election polls capture voter preferences at a particular moment rather than guaranteeing an outcome. Results for individual demographic groups, including Latino voters, are based on smaller samples and generally have considerably larger margins of error.
Ossoff and Collins faced each other in two debates. The first took place Thursday, October 8, 2026, organized by Atlanta News First, with Georgia Recorder reporting an exchange of personal insults between the candidates. The second debate was held Tuesday, October 13, at 8 p.m. ET, through the Atlanta Press Club and Georgia Public Broadcasting (GPB), and was expected to be their final debate before Election Day.
On Monday, October 26, both candidates began the final week of early voting with campaign events focused on jobs, healthcare, and the cost of living. Ossoff met with union members in Atlanta, while Collins held events in Jefferson and Buford, according to WSB-TV. By that date, approximately 1.8 million Georgians had already cast their ballots, according to the Secretary of State's Office, as cited by WSB-TV.
On Tuesday, October 27, Ossoff held a door-to-door campaign event in Columbus alongside Senator Michael Bennet, according to a statement from his campaign. During the event, he again questioned Collins over CNN reports concerning white supremacist content produced on property owned by Collins. Collins has stated that he condemns all forms of hate speech.
Collins: Authored the House version of the Laken Riley Act, which requires the detention of unauthorized immigrants accused of certain crimes. It became the first law Trump signed during his second term (WABE). During the October 8 debate, Collins emphasized that immigrants must enter the country legally and called for improvements to the efficiency of the H-2A agricultural visa program (election.do). In January 2026, he argued that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) should receive full funding so ICE could continue deporting unauthorized immigrants with records of violent offenses (11Alive).
