Incumbent David Scott (D) defeated six challengers in the Democratic primary in Georgia's 13th Congressional District on May 21, 2024. Scott and Marcus Flowers (D) led in local media attention ahead of the primary. Scott won with 57.8% of the vote, followed by Mark Baker (D) with 11.6% and Flowers with 9.9%.
First elected in 2002, Scott faced primary challenges in 2020 and 2022, winning 52.2% of the vote in 2020 and 65.7% in 2022. Scott's last primary challenge before 2020 took place in 2014. According to Politico, Scott "is gearing up for a reelection campaign some of his fellow Democrats had hoped he wouldn’t pursue," in light of what Politico described as Scott's colleagues' "alarm about [his] health and what they describe as his declining capacity to negotiate the $1.5 trillion farm bill."[1] In a 2022 interview with Politico, Scott said, "Obviously I’m not retiring...I’m as strong and vibrant as a roaring lion."[1]
The primary took place in the context of court-ordered redistricting. Georgia adopted new congressional district maps in December 2023 after the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia ruled the maps adopted after the 2020 census did not include enough majority-Black districts.[2] A Daily Kos analysis of the district lines found that Joe Biden (D) defeated Donald Trump (R) 79.7%–19.3% under the boundaries used for the 13th District in 2022 and 69.8%–29.2% under the 2024 boundaries.[3][4]
Scott ran on his record, saying he had secured nearly $1.2 billion in federal funding for the district and resolved more than 18,000 cases on behalf of constituents.[5] Scott said he would continue his work securing funding for historically Black agricultural colleges and expanding housing assistance programs.[6]
Flowers was a U.S. Army veteran and former contractor who worked with the U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. Department of State. Flowers said he was running to represent a new generation of leaders and to oppose former President Donald Trump (R): "It is about preserving democracy for generations. It’s about alerting people to the dangers that lie ahead of us, especially in the Black community."[1] Flowers ran in the 14th District in 2022, losing to Marjorie Taylor Greene (R) 65.9%–34.1%.
Also running in the primary were Brian Johnson (D), Uloma Ekpete Kama (D), Rashid Malik (D), and Karen Rene (D).
As of May 20, 2024, The Cook Political Report with Amy Walter, Larry Sabato's Crystal Ball, and Inside Elections with Nathan Gonzales each rated the general election Solid/Safe Democratic.
Brian Johnson (D) and Uloma Ekpete Kama (D) completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey. To read those survey responses, click here.
All 435 seats were up for election. At the time of the election, Republicans had a 220 to 212 majority with three vacancies.[7] As of June 2024, 45 members of the U.S. House had announced they were not running for re-election. To read more about the U.S. House elections taking place this year, click here.
In the 2022 election in this district, the Democratic candidate won 81.8%-18.2%. Daily Kos calculated what the results of the 2020 presidential election in this district would have been following redistricting. Joe Biden (D) would have defeated Donald Trump (R) 69.8%-29.2%.[8]
Georgia conducted redistricting between the 2022 and 2024 elections. As a result, district lines in this state changed.

Brian Johnson (D)
Economic Equality: My campaign is focused on working to reduce income inequality, support living wages, and protect workers' rights in an ever-changing economy.
Civil Rights and Liberties: I am committed to defending and advancing the rights of all individuals, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, or background.
The United States has long been committed to promoting women, peace, and security. This commitment is rooted in the belief that women's meaningful participation in decision-making processes is essential for achieving sustainable peace and security. The United States strongly advocates for the inclusion of women in peace processes and conflict resolution efforts. Despite these efforts, challenges and gaps remain in the U.S. commitment to women, peace, and security. More resources and political will are needed to fully implement existing policies and ensure that women's voices are heard, and their rights protected.
Healthcare Policy and HealthLaw:
Implementing healthcare law and policy in the states requires a multi-faceted approach. First, federal and state governments must collaborate to establish clear guidelines and regulations. State governments should then create mechanisms to enforce these policies effectively. This includes building robust healthcare infrastructure, such as hospitals, clinics, and healthcare education programs. Collaboration between government agencies, healthcare providers, and insurers is crucial for effective implementation.
Addressing Ongoing Reports on Terrorism and its Global Challenges.

Transparency in decision-making processes helps to build public trust and ensures accountability. Elected officials should be open about their policies, decisions, and the reasons behind them, allowing for public scrutiny and feedback.
The ability to understand and share the feelings of others is vital. Empathy ensures that elected officials can relate to the diverse experiences and challenges faced by their constituents, informing policies that address their needs effectively.

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:
- Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
- Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
- Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[9]
- Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.
Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[10][11][12]

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.
Partisan Voter Index
Heading into the 2024 elections, based on results from the 2020 and 2016 presidential elections, the Cook Partisan Voter Index for this district was D+17. This meant that in those two presidential elections, this district's results were 17 percentage points more Democratic than the national average. This made Georgia's 13th the 84th most Democratic district nationally.[16]
2020 presidential election results
