ATLANTA (AP) — Former Donald Trump aide Brian Jack has won election to Congress from Georgia. The Republican Jack left no distance between himself and Trump in winning his first term in the House. He will represent Georgia’s 3rd Congressional District, south and west of Atlanta. The GOP-tilting seat was open because U.S. Rep. Drew Ferguson is retiring. Jack was the political director in Trump’s White House and later worked for U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, winning Trump’s repeated endorsement. Jack defeated Democrat Maura Keller, a retired Army lieutenant colonel and Fayetteville resident. She ran on a platform of abortion rights and better veterans services. Jack says he will support Trump on economic and immigration issues.
