Why we checked itSpecific claim that Mike inherited a congressional seat from his father and operates a family trucking business — both verifiable biographical/business facts with political relevance
What we foundMike Collins is the son of a former congressman and does run a family trucking company, but he did not 'inherit' a congressional seat (he won a different district in a competitive election), and the trucking company is more accurately described as a multigenerational family business he expanded and partially purchased, not simply 'his daddy's' company.
