WASHINGTON — The family of slain Georgia nursing student Laken Riley have endorsed Republican US Rep. Mike Collins in the Peach State’s Senate race — months after he helped usher a bill named for their late daughter through Congress to crack down on migrant criminals.
“A lot of people go to Washington and it changes them. However, in the short time that we have known him, Mike Collins went to Washington and changed it,” said Allyson and John Phillips, the mother and stepfather of Laken, who was brutally murdered by a migrant gang member Feb. 22, 2024.
“There is simply no one else in this race who deserves to be in the US Senate more than Mike Collins. He is someone who says what he means, means what he says, and actually delivers results that matter,” Riley and Phillips added. 5
