ATLANTA — Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Collins conceded his bid for the U.S. Senate on Tuesday night after losing to Democratic incumbent Jon Ossoff, but says he plans to remain involved in politics.

Collins addressed supporters at his election night watch party after The Associated Press called the race in Ossoff’s favor.

“The results may not be what we wanted tonight, but y’all it’s okay. I’m going to continue to serve in whatever capacity I’m afforded,” Collins said.

As of 8:50 p.m. Tuesday, The Associated Press estimated that Ossoff had received more than 60% of the votes counted.

Despite the defeat, Collins told supporters he believes his time in Congress has been successful, pointing to several legislative efforts.

“We’ve succeeded whether that be the TRAIN Act to get drugs off our streets, taking care of the port of Savannah and Brunswick and Augusta’s water or the Laken Riley Act,” Collins said.

Collins also thanked his campaign team, family and supporters for their efforts throughout the election.

The Republican congressman received an endorsement from President Donald Trump, who traveled to Georgia twice to support his campaign.

“Y’all, it’s been an honor, an honor and a privilege to serve under the leadership of the best president in my lifetime, that is President Donald J. Trump,” Collins said.

Collins currently represents Georgia’s 10th Congressional District, with his term scheduled to end at the end of the year.

Although he has not announced his next political move, Collins indicated that he intends to continue serving in some capacity.

“I’m going to continue to serve in whatever capacity I’m afforded. And I look forward to whatever the good Lord has in store for us,” Collins said.
