A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party's candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election. Georgia utilizes an open primary system, in which any voter can participate in a political party's primary election regardless of their partisan affiliation. A candidate must win a majority of votes cast in the primary in order to win the election. If no candidate wins an outright majority, a runoff primary is held between the top two vote-getters.

For information about which offices are nominated via primary election, see this article.

Antonio Daza

Party: Democratic Party

Incumbent: No

Political Office: None

Submitted Biography:  "Antonio Daza, born in Valencia, Venezuela, is a passionate advocate for democracy, justice and progress. He challenged authority from a young age, driven by a rebel spirit and an inquisitive mind. Influenced by resilient family figures and political legacies, Antonio's worldview crystallized around democratic values and fighting oppression. His political activism began in Venezuela at nine, opposing government corruption and authoritarianism, leading to perilous encounters. Seeking asylum in the U.S. in 2003 marked a turning point from a tumultuous country to a beacon of hope. Antonio founded Daza Dance in 2008, fostering unity through dance and shaping Atlanta's cultural landscape for 15 years. Inspired by the events of the Trump era, he contested for Congress in 2022, surpassing expectations with nearly 38% of the district's vote. Undeterred, his commitment echoes a relentless drive to defend democracy and advocate for equity, rooted in experiences from Venezuela's democratic erosion. Antonio envisions a future where democracy, justice, and equity flourish. His candidacy symbolizes inclusivity, unity, and empowerment, calling on the community to unite, amplify voices, and script a new narrative of a thriving community where democracy and justice prevail. Antonio represents the American dream, accessible to all, weaving into the vibrant tapestry of the nation."

---

Protecting Democracy I am a strong advocate for the preservation and enhancement of our democratic principles. The right to vote is the cornerstone of our democracy, and I am committed to ensuring that every eligible American can exercise this fundamental right.

---

Justice I believe that Justice is lacking in many facets of our government. Whether it is in the context of our failing criminal justice system, rampant ethics issues in Congress, or an inherently flawed immigration system, I will fight to ensure that our government is accountable to the people - and that all people are held accountable to our society equally.

---

Equity and Equality Our nation is held back from achieving true greatness due to the ways that discrimination, a lack of opportunities, and a lack of resources affect so many of our community members. Our society will only benefit if all Americans can live the lifestyles they deserve to, can access the healthcare resources needed to remain healthy, and can reach new heights of prosperity through education. As the Congressman for Georgia’s 11th Congressional District, I will advocate for policies that I believe will achieve these goals.

Katy Stamper

Party: Democratic Party

Incumbent: No

Political Office: None

Submitted Biography:  "I'm a fed-up citizen, Army veteran and probate lawyer. I was born in Texas, and as a kid lived in Texas, Pennsylvania and Georgia. In the Army, I was stationed in Ft. Huachuca, Arizona and at a base in West Germany. I've lived in Georgia since 1971. I've represented taxpayer groups and run for office before as a Libertarian. The country is degrading and the uni-party is totally fine with that. I'm not. I want to restore the American customs of easy openness, when you could speak your mind, tell a joke, or put a political sticker on your car, without people calling you names they think are nasty, threatening you, or deplatforming or cancelling you. We also have government actively eroding the relationships between the sexes and I will work to stop and reverse that damage. I want to restore our custom of appreciating our history rather than tearing it all down constantly. Some people who have had a burr under their saddles for their entire lives live in a constant blind rage against our country. Those who loved the beautiful prosperous and happy place it was before this rage began have been stultified into quiet, exhausted by the unrelenting barrage of attacks by the unhinged who for the most part are Marxists or some flavor thereof. Finally, American jobs, homes, schools, roads and hospitals must be for Americans and not the random foreign nationals that a derelict executive branch unlawfully decides to admit."

To reduce inflation of food, gas, and housing, government spending must return to 2019 levels. When government spends too much on goods and services, prices go up, up, up. Spending bills must originate in the House. The power must be robustly and courageously used to bring to heel the geriatrics in the Senate who wouldn't know a financial, immigration, or business over-regulation problem if it bit them in the ass. I will not vote for a Continuing Resolution that does not reduce spending. Media coverage is irresponsible but is no excuse. But too often the cause is also that House members are not "Americans-First." They rarely disclose their true priorities, which Americans have a right to know. I will be open and honest.

---

Our country is overburdened by too many immigrants, illegal and legal. In 2018, the conservative estimate of a Yale Management School study put the number of illegal aliens in the United States at 22 million which did not include Obama's DACA recipients or the 10-million-plus that have come in since 2021. We must close the border with all legal loopholes eliminated so no discretion is left to the executive branch on enforcing our border laws and immigration laws; send home 25+ million illegal foreign nationals; reduce legal immigration; strengthen requirements for assimilation; and remove the Supreme Court's jurisdiction to hear challenges to state laws related to reducing or eliminating the presence of illegal aliens in their states.

---

Term limits would be a real help to restoring America, as would be limiting the length of time someone could be employed by the federal government to 10 or 20 years. As it is, career bureaucrats outmaneuver our elected representatives and become a law unto themselves. This is really hurting us in industry, the environment, medicine and other areas. We cannot trust people who over more than two decades create their own fiefdoms and they have illustrated this over and over again.

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Georgia in 2024. Information below was calculated on April 2, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

Fifty-five candidates ran for Georgia’s 14 U.S. House districts, including 30 Democrats and 25 Republicans. That’s 3.9 candidates per district, lower than the 5.9 candidates per district in 2022 and the 5.5 in 2020.

This was the first election to take place after Georgia Governor Brian Kemp (R) signed revised congressional maps into law on Dec. 8, 2023.

The 3rd Congressional District was the only open district in 2024, meaning no incumbents filed to run. That’s one less than in 2022, when two seats were open. There were three open seats in 2020, none in 2018, one in 2016, and three in 2014.

Incumbent Drew Ferguson (R-3rd) did not run for re-election because he retired from public office.

As a result of redistricting in Georgia, two incumbents ran for re-election in different districts than the ones they represented. Lucy McBath (D-7th) ran in the 6th Congressional District and Rich McCormick (R-6th) ran in the 7th Congressional District.

Nine candidates—seven Democrats and two Republicans—ran for the 13th Congressional District, the most candidates that ran for a seat in 2024.

Twelve primaries—eight Democratic and four Republican—were contested in 2024. Seventeen primaries were contested in 2022, 16 primaries were contested in 2020, and 13 were in 2018.

Three incumbents—two Democrats and one Republican—were in contested primaries, the fewest this decade.

Candidates filed to run in the Republican and Democratic primaries in all 14 districts, meaning no seats were guaranteed to either party.
