I’m guessing that this is pretty straightforward politicking. A lot of the populist-right crowd in the US has historically been adamantly Protestant. Catholics were also a big issue for the KKK, too.
Yeah, it’s mostly not very Catholic, but Whitfield County is a notable exception. Gordon County, which is also somewhat-Catholic, isn’t in her district.
And it looks like that county had the weakest support for Trump of all the counties in her district (though it was still pretty overwhelmingly pro-Trump, 71.9% in favor of Trump versus 27.5% for Harris).
EDIT: Might irritate some of the MAGA crowd elsewhere in the US, though. And probably not the sort of thing that’d go over well with the right in Poland…

Looks like Whitfield County has a population of 103,687, so maybe an eighth of her constituents.
