Georgia's 7th congressional district, Congressional district in northeast Atlanta metropolitan area, United States.
Georgia's 7th congressional district covers parts of Gwinnett County and Forsyth County in the northeast section of the Atlanta metro area. The territory includes Johns Creek, Peachtree Corners, Norcross, Lawrenceville, Duluth, and Suwanee, spanning a large portion of the northern suburbs.
The district was established in 1827 and remained in Democratic hands from 1868 until 1994. After more than a century of Democratic representation, it switched to Republican control in 1994 before Democrat Lucy McBath won the seat in 2021.
The district exhibits a population mix of 29.5% White, 28.1% Black, 23.8% Hispanic, and 14.3% Asian residents, reflecting the changing demographics of suburban Atlanta.
Residents can check their congressional representation by entering their address on platforms like GovTrack. Boundaries may shift with each redistricting cycle, so it is worth verifying after major elections.
The 2018 election produced one of the closest races nationwide, with Republican Rob Woodall winning by just 433 votes. This tight outcome reflected how political preferences had shifted in the rapidly growing suburbs around Atlanta.
