Brian Jack secured a solid victory in the Republican primary runoff to represent Georgia’s Third Congressional District, largely attributing his momentous victory to former President Donald Trump’s endorsement and support.
Jack, a former Trump campaign adviser, soundly defeated fellow Republican Georgia State Sen. Mike Dugan in the runoff by more than a 20-point margin.
During his victory speech Tuesday evening, Jack first thanked God for “putting us here tonight and enabling us to be here.” He then credited Trump for propelling him to victory.
“Frankly, the reason, politically, that I’m here, my former boss, for whom I worked for eight years, the 45th and 47th president of the United States — he’s the reason we’re here. Thank you very much, Mr. President,” Jack stated, delivering a message directly to the establishment media.
“He just had a rally in Wisconsin, and I think it’s fair to say — and, for the media, it’s fair to know — that the power of the Trump endorsement is alive and well, so thank you very much, sir,” he said to applause.
Jack elaborated on that point to Breitbart News, explaining, “When President Trump endorsed me, I was polling at one percent. Two months later, I received 47 percent in the first round of the primary,” he explained.
“One month after that, tonight, I won the runoff with 63 percent of the vote,” he said, adding, “President Trump’s endorsement catapulted my campaign from one percent to 63 percent in four months, and I’m excited to see where our campaign goes from here.”

Jack has said in interviews that he plans to “work with President Trump to support his plan to deport illegal immigrants, allocate funds to build the wall, and end the incentives for illegal immigration that Joe Biden has enacted.”
“For example, I will sponsor legislation that mandates Americans provide proof of citizenship when voting,” he added. “Federal legislation is necessary to ensure only Americans vote in American elections.”
