Georgia's 7th congressional district


Georgia's 7th congressional district is a congressional district in the U.S. state of Georgia. It is currently represented by Republican Rob Woodall, though the district's boundaries have been redrawn following the 2010 census, which granted an additional congressional seat to Georgia. The first election using the new district boundaries were the 2012 congressional elections.
The district includes portions of the northeast Atlanta metropolitan area, including the cities of Peachtree Corners, Norcross, Cumming, Lawrenceville, Duluth, Snellville, Suwanee, and Buford.
While the district has traditionally been known as a Republican stronghold, it has undergone significant demographic changes in recent years. In the 2018 midterm elections, Woodall won reelection by only 433 votes, or 0.15%, against Democrat Carolyn Bourdeaux, and his victory was only confirmed after a recount. In terms of both absolute numbers and vote percentage, it was the closest U.S. House race in the country in 2018.

Counties

Although the seat has been held by Republicans since 1995, the 7th district had previously elected Democrats consistently from the Reconstruction era until the 1994 Congressional Elections.
