Republican raises nearly $2 million in U.S. House 3

(The Center Square) – In one of the few U.S. House races in Georgia without an incumbent running, Republican Brian Jack has greatly out-fundraised his Democratic opponent Maura Keller.

Jack raised just under $2 million for his campaign, while Keller has brought in $148,000. Going into the last few weeks of the election, the candidates had close to the same amount of money on hand.

Jack had $180,000 remaining at the end of the third fundraising quarter, which ended on Sept. 30. Keller ended it with $98,000.

Since the beginning of her campaign, Keller has spent $51,000, compared to Jack’s $1.8 million – 35 times more, according to the most up-to-date 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. A Democrat has not won the district since 2004.

Keller is hoping to change that.

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

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

Jack, regularly campaigning with Trump, says his top issues are stopping illegal immigration and crime, fixing the economy, and ending the “weaponization of justice.”

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

Keller has emphasized her concerns with 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 post, Keller called out Trump-endorsed candidates like Jack.

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

With early voting in Georgia beginning last week and having 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 to deliver a resounding win this November,” he said on social media. “Let’s get out and vote!”

Republicans are expected to hold the majority of the state’s U.S. House representatives, with incumbents leading fundraising in 13 out of the 14 districts. There are nine Republicans and five Democrats in the House from Georgia.
