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." In a 2022 interview with Politico, Scott said, "Obviously I’m not retiring...I’m as strong and vibrant as a roaring lion."

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. 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.

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. Scott said he would continue his work securing funding for historically Black agricultural colleges and expanding housing assistance programs.

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." 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. 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%.

Georgia conducted redistricting between the 2022 and 2024 elections. As a result, district lines in this state changed.

I also believe that empathy is a fundamental trait that enables effective representation and responsive governance.

Brian Johnson (D)

Overall, the core responsibilities of a member of Congress revolve around representing their constituents effectively, participating in the legislative process, providing genuine oversight of the executive branch, and serving as advocates for the public good.

Brian Johnson (D)

What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution?

Brian Johnson (D)

The U.S. House of Representatives holds a unique and special place within the framework of American democracy as the legislative body closest to the people. With members elected every two years from specific geographic districts, the House is designed to be directly responsive to the needs and concerns of constituents. This close connection to the electorate provides the House with a sense of immediacy and accountability, as representatives must continually justify their actions and decisions to the voters they serve. Moreover, the House's large membership, relative to the Senate, ensures a greater diversity of viewpoints and experiences, enriching the legislative process and fostering robust debate on a wide range of issues.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?

Brian Johnson (D)

While experience can certainly be beneficial for members of Congress, it is not an absolute necessity for effective governance. The founders envisioned Congress as a body comprised of citizen legislators, individuals from diverse backgrounds and professions who bring their unique perspectives and expertise to the legislative process. This diversity of experience ensures that legislation reflects a wide range of perspectives and considerations. Experience does not guarantee competency or effectiveness in the office. The ability to communicate, collaborate, and make sound judgments is often more important than experience in shaping legislative outcomes.

What do you perceive to be the United States’ greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

Brian Johnson (D)

The biggest threat to our nation will over the next decade will come from within. Cynicism and apathy pose a significant threat to the fabric of American society by eroding trust in democratic institutions and undermining the fundamental principles of civic engagement. When individuals become cynical about the efficacy of government and the integrity of elected officials, they are less likely to participate in the democratic process, leading to apathy and disengagement. This disillusionment can create a self-reinforcing cycle, where lack of participation further exacerbates the perception of government ineffectiveness, ultimately weakening the democratic foundation upon which America is built. Both apathy and cynicism foster polarization and divisiveness within society, as individuals retreat into echo chambers and reject alternative perspectives. When cynicism prevails, it becomes increasingly difficult to bridge ideological divides and find common ground on pressing issues facing the nation. This breakdown in communication and cooperation hampers the ability of government and civil society to address complex challenges effectively. To counteract the corrosive effects of cynicism, it is imperative to cultivate a culture of civic trust, promote transparency and accountability in government, and actively work to restore faith in democratic institutions. Only by confronting cynicism head-on can America safeguard the principles of democracy and ensure a more inclusive and resilient society for future generations.

Do you believe that two years is the right term length for representatives?

Brian Johnson (D)

The two-year term for members of Congress strikes the perfect balance between ensuring accountability to the electorate and providing stability for effective governance. It gives voters the opportunity to regularly evaluate their performance and hold them accountable for their actions. It promotes responsiveness to the needs and concerns of constituents, as representatives must continually justify their actions and decisions to the voters they serve, prevents the entrenchment of incumbents and fosters competition, as challengers have regular opportunities to vie for office, injecting new ideas and perspectives into the political arena.

What are your thoughts on term limits?

Brian Johnson (D)

Term limits encourage greater citizen participation and engagement in the political process. When incumbents are limited in their time in office, it creates opportunities for new candidates to emerge, fostering competition and diversifying the pool of elected representatives. This dynamic encourages a more responsive and representative government, as elected officials are incentivized to prioritize the needs and concerns of their constituents in order to secure reelection. Term limits also promote greater democratic participation by reducing the barriers to entry for aspiring politicians, empowering individuals from diverse backgrounds to pursue public service and contribute to the democratic process. Term limits are essential for promoting accountability, preventing the concentration of power, and fostering a vibrant and inclusive democracy.

Is there a particular representative, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

Brian Johnson (D)

John Lewis. Lewis was a powerful voice for marginalized communities, speaking out against systemic racism and injustice. He was known for his moral clarity, his willingness to speak truth to power, and his unwavering commitment to nonviolent resistance. To me he was a beacon of hope and inspiration to all Americans, but especially black Americans, embodying the principles of courage, integrity, and perseverance.

Both sitting representatives and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful?

Brian Johnson (D)

Congressman Joe Neguse's life story is quite remarkable. Hearing him talk about his Eritrean immigrant parents who fled war seeking refuge in the United States, and how his upbringing was marked by the struggles and sacrifices of his parents inspires me. Hearing Neguse talk about how his family instilled in him the values of hard work, resilience, and service to others sounds a lot like my story.

Tell us your favorite joke.

Brian Johnson (D)

Why don't scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything!

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

Brian Johnson (D)

Compromise is essential for effective policymaking. At its core, compromise involves finding common ground among individuals with differing perspectives and interests in order to advance the collective good. In the realm of policymaking, where competing priorities and values often collide, compromise serves as a mechanism for reconciliation and progress. By negotiating and reaching consensus, policymakers can craft solutions that balance competing interests, mitigate conflicts, and achieve meaningful outcomes. Compromise fosters legitimacy and buy-in for the policies enacted. When stakeholders from various backgrounds are involved in the decision-making process and their concerns are taken into account, it enhances the perceived fairness and legitimacy of the resulting policies. This, in turn, promotes greater compliance and cooperation from affected parties, facilitating smoother implementation and enforcement of the policies.

The Constitution says that all bills for raising revenue must originate in the House. What role would this power play in your priorities if elected?

Brian Johnson (D)

The power of the purse provides Congress with a potent tool for driving change and shaping policy outcomes. By judiciously exercising its authority over the federal budget, Congress can promote accountability, influence policy decisions, and advance the interests of the American people. If elected I can conduct oversight and investigations into the use of federal funds, holding agencies accountable for their spending decisions and ensuring that taxpayer dollars are used efficiently and effectively. Through hearings, audits, and reports, I can uncover waste, fraud, or abuse of funds, leading to reforms and improvements in government programs and operations.

How should the U.S. House use its investigative powers?

Brian Johnson (D)

The most beneficial way that the House can use its investigative powers is by conducting thorough and impartial oversight of the executive branch and other government agencies. By scrutinizing the actions and decisions of government officials, the House can play a crucial role in ensuring transparency, accountability, and adherence to the rule of law at a time when those pillars of government are under attack. Through hearings, subpoenas, and requests for information, congressional committees can uncover expose corruption, and identify areas in need of reform.

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

Brian Johnson (D)

So far I have no active endorsements but I am actively engaged in discussions with a number of organizations

Uloma Ekpete Kama (D)

What committees interest you?

Brian Johnson (D)

Judiciary, Agriculture, Homeland Security and Ways & means

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

Brian Johnson (D)

Financial transparency fosters trust between the government and its citizens, as it allows for scrutiny and oversight of government actions. Additionally, financial transparency promotes accountability, as it holds government officials responsible for their decisions and actions. By making government finances accessible and understandable to the public, transparency helps to prevent corruption, misuse of funds, and unethical behavior. Ultimately, financial transparency and government accountability are essential for upholding the principles of democracy, ensuring that governments serve the interests of the people they represent and operate in a manner that is ethical, responsible, and accountable.

Race ratings

See also: Race rating definitions and methods

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.
• 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.

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

See also: The Cook Political Report's 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.
