Republican Raises Nearly $2 Million in U.S. House 3

(The Center Square) – In one of the few House races in Georgia without an incumbent candidate, Republican Brian Jack has comfortably outperformed his Democratic opponent Maura Keller.

Jack raised just under $2 million for his campaign, while Keller raised $148,000. Entering the final weeks of the election, the candidates had about the same amount of money.

Jack was left with $180,000 at the end of the third fundraising quarter, which ended September 30. Keller finished it with $98,000.

Since the start of his campaign, Keller has spent $51,000, compared to $1.8 million for Jack, or 35 times more, according to the most recent information from the Federal Election Commission.

Located south of Atlanta, District 3 is considered heavily Republican. In 2022, Republican Drew Ferguson won the district with nearly 70% of the vote. No Democrat has won the district since 2004.

Keller hopes to change that.

While Jack has aligned himself with former President Donald Trump’s “America First” policy, Keller has called herself a political progressive.

Keller’s campaign prioritizes “reproductive healthcare and access to IVF, minimum wage, education, LGBTQ+ rights and climate change.” IVF is the acronym for in vitro fertilization.

Jack, who regularly campaigns alongside Trump, says his main goals are stopping illegal immigration and crime, fixing the economy and ending the “weaponization of justice.”

Jack served as a campaign advisor to Trump’s 2016 and 2024 campaigns.

Keller highlighted his concerns about Jack’s close affiliation with Trump.

“My opponent constantly ties himself to Trump, but my mission is to serve the people of District 3,” she said on social media.

In another article, Keller called Trump-backed candidates like Jack.

“We are fighting to show MAGA Republicans that they have no place in our government,” she said.

With early voting in Georgia kicking off last week and seeing record turnout, both candidates are encouraging voting, with Jack calling for a “red wave.”

“Republicans in Georgia’s 3rd Congressional District are organized and ready for a resounding victory in November,” he said on social media. “Let’s go out and vote!” »
