SUMMARY: In Georgia’s District 3 U.S. House race, Republican Brian Jack far outpaced Democratic opponent Maura Keller in fundraising, raising nearly $2 million compared to Keller’s $148,000. Despite Jack’s financial advantage, both candidates had similar cash on hand before the election. District 3, heavily Republican since 2004, last elected a Democrat in 2004, when Drew Ferguson won nearly 70% of the vote. Jack aligns with Donald Trump’s policies, focusing on immigration and crime, while Keller advocates for reproductive health, education, and LGBTQ+ rights, criticizing Jack’s Trump ties as out of touch with constituents. Early voting has seen record turnout.
