Carolyn Bourdeaux defeated five other candidates in the Democratic primary for Georgia's 7th Congressional District on June 9, 2020. Bourdeaux received 52.8% of the vote, followed by Brenda Lopez Romero with 12.4% and Nabilah Islam with 12.3%. Rashid Malik, John Eaves, and Zahra Karinshak each received less than 10% of the vote. The Associated Press called the primary for Bourdeaux on June 16, as she had surpassed the 50% vote threshold required to avoid a primary runoff. On June 10, the AP reported that Bourdeaux and Romero advanced to a runoff but said on June 13 the race was too close to call as absentee ballots continued to be counted.[1][2] Bourdeaux advanced to the district's general election on November 3, 2020.
Incumbent Rob Woodall (R), who was first elected in 2010, did not seek re-election. In 2018, Woodall defeated Democratic nominee Bourdeaux by 433 votes — a margin of 0.15 percentage points — in the closest U.S. House race that year.
In the 2020 Democratic primary, Bourdeaux, Islam, Karinshak, and Romero led in endorsements, fundraising, and media attention. Bourdeaux received endorsements from U.S. Reps. John Lewis (D-Ga.), Hank Johnson (D-Ga.), and Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.). U.S. Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), and Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) endorsed Islam, along with Occupy Democrats. VoteVets.org, the Second Service Coalition, former U.S. Sen. Max Cleland (D-Ga.), and former U.S. Rep. Buddy Darden (D-Ga.) endorsed Karinshak, a member of the Georgia State Senate. Lopez Romero, a member of the Georgia House of Representatives, received endorsements from a number of state representatives, including House Minority Leader Robert Trammell (D) and House Democratic Chair James Beverly (D).
Major independent observers rated the November 3 general election as a toss-up. The 2017 Cook Partisan Voter Index for this district was R+9, meaning that in the previous two presidential elections, this district's results were 9 percentage points more Republican than the national average.

Submitted Biography: "Nabilah Islam is a 30-year-old Bangladeshi American and proud progressive running to fix our broken healthcare system, end student debt, and fight for immigrants and working people. The daughter of working-class immigrants, Nabilah grew up watching her parents live paycheck to paycheck and work long hours to get by. In high school, Nabilah's mother herniated two discs working in a warehouse-and when the insurance company refused to cover her care, Nabilah helped her family navigate the legal process and force the insurers to pay. A proud graduate of Gwinnett County Public Schools, Nabilah's first jobs were at the Ingles Grocery Store and the Walmart in Lawrenceville. She is a Central Gwinnett High School graduate. Nabilah worked her way through Georgia State University at a retail store in Peachtree Corners, and after graduation, began working for local progressive candidates in Georgia. Like millions of Americans, Nabilah owes nearly $30,000 in student loans-and like nearly 20 percent of her district, she has no health insurance. Nabilah's running for Congress because she knows, firsthand, that incremental change doesn't work. Georgia's 7th needs bold, progressive solutions: Medicare for All, student loan forgiveness, and an economy that actually works for working people. "

Primaries in Georgia
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 registered voters do not have to be members of a party to vote in that party's primary.[26][27]
For information about which offices are nominated via primary election, see this article.
What was at stake in the general election?
U.S. House elections were held on November 3, 2020, and coincided with the 2020 presidential election. All 435 House districts were up for election, and the results determined control of the U.S. House in the 117th Congress.
At the time of the election, Democrats had a 232-197 advantage over Republicans. There was one Libertarian member, and there were five vacancies. Republicans needed to gain a net 21 seats to win control of the House. Democrats needed to gain seats or lose fewer than 14 net seats to keep their majority.
In the 2018 midterm election, Democrats had a net gain of 40 seats, winning a 235-200 majority in the House. Heading into the 2018 election, Republicans had a 235-193 majority with seven vacancies.
In the 25 previous House elections that coincided with a presidential election, the president's party had gained House seats in 16 elections and lost seats in nine. In years where the president's party won districts, the average gain was 18. In years where the president's party lost districts, the average loss was 27.

General election 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.[28]
- 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.[29][30][31]
