Georgia's 13th Congressional District Holds Special Election Amid Midterm Focus
On July 28, 2026, voters in Georgia's 13th congressional district are participating in a special election to fill the U.S. House seat left vacant by the late Democrat David Scott. The district, which includes parts of Clayton, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Henry, Newton, and Rockdale Counties, is predominantly Democratic. The election features four Democratic candidates—Marcye Scott, Everton Blair, Tony Brown, and Carlos Moore—and two Republican candidates, Caesar Gonzales and Fayth Park. A candidate must secure a 50% majority to win outright; otherwise, a runoff will occur on August 25. This election is significant as it could impact the Republican majority in the House of Representatives. The winner will serve until January, when the term would have naturally ended, and the general election winner will begin a full term.
