Preston Parra Posted Nazi, KKK Imagery After Collins PAC Paid Him $7,700

Summary

  • Federal records show Mike Collins’ Overhaul PAC paid Preston Parra $7,700 in May 2025 after he had interned in the congressman’s office in 2024.
  • Parra, 24, later posted a swastika made from the word “twink,” shared an AI-generated image resembling KKK regalia, used an anti-Black slur and wrote “White Power,” while calling much of it “satirical.”
  • Collins’ campaign did not say whether it still stood by an endorsement on Parra’s website, saying only that the candidate considers antisemitism “abhorrent” while attacking Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff.
  • The episode adds to scrutiny of Collins’ orbit after reports involving former chief of staff Kip Talley, son-in-law David Alan Scheer II and ex-digital staffer William Paul.
  • Georgia Republicans told The Washington Post they increasingly see a pattern around Collins that could hurt his November challenge to Ossoff in a Senate race critical to the chamber’s 53-47 balance.
