Former football coach Derek Dooley announced on Aug. 4 that he is running in Georgia for the U.S. Senate, joining a crowded Republican field looking to take on incumbent Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.).

“I’m running because our state needs new leadership in Washington D.C., and professional politicians like Jon Ossoff are the problem,” Dooley said in a statement.
