Brian Jack, who worked in President Donald Trump’s White House and ran under his America First banner, has won a seat in Congress.

Jack, who lives in Peachtree City, easily defeated Democrat Maura Keller in Georgia’s 3rd Congressional District contest. The seat became vacant after incumbent U.S. Rep. Drew Ferguson, R-The Rock, decided not to seek another term.

Jack worked for Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and then served as his White House political director. Trump endorsed Jack in a primary crowded with conservative candidates, propelling him to victory after a runoff in May against former GOP state Senate leader Mike Dugan.

Throughout the election season, Jack emphasized his ties to Trump and campaigned alongside him in Georgia and beyond.

Georgia’s 3rd District includes all or part of 15 counties in west Georgia and south of Atlanta, and it includes Columbus, Carrollton, Douglasville and Newnan.
