Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Michael Ford (D)

Congressmen must find the courage to do what’s right – even if all those around them are doing wrong. I will do what's right, even if difficult.

Truth matters. Facts matter. I get the truth from the facts and I will report the truth and the facts, not political hype, nonsense or illusion.

A representative must represent all the people, must do what's best for all the people and must protect the interests of all the people.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Michael Ford (D)

We have one planet. It will survive no matter how we may mistreat it. Whether we can sustain our life on this planet depends on how we interact with the planet and each other. We have to listen to the scientists, the data and the facts. The credible scientists tell us that we must work to protect our environment or else we will see radical and catastrophic changes that will endanger us all.

Leaders must not mislead us, must not deceive us, and must not lie to us. Leaders must protect us and not abuse the trust that we give to them. Ensuring that with authority comes responsibility is what we teach our children and what we deserve in our leaders. We must make certain that our leaders are always responsible to those who elect them and that they work for the best interest of us all and not themselves.

We must ensure that our infrastructure is protected from domestic and foreign attack. Our electric grid and nuclear power must be made secure so that those who would destroy it must fail.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

Michael Ford (D)

I look up to those who face danger, who are afraid, but do their duty regardless. We find them in the fire department, the police department, the armed services, and walking among us. Many are unsung heros. In addition to physical danger, there can be enormous pressure to go along with our group or friends or family -- even when we know the path is wrong. Those who resist are heros.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Michael Ford (D)

Understanding the duty that is required by the office, having the personal honor to do the right thing, and putting the good of our country before personal or partisan interests.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

Michael Ford (D)

Understanding legal affairs and working with difficult situations and finding resolutions.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Michael Ford (D)

Reading and understanding the bills that are proposed, offering bills that advance the best interest of the citizens, and ensuring that the possibility of unintended consequences is adequately considered.

What legacy would you like to leave?

Michael Ford (D)

A public servant.

What is something that has been a struggle in your life?

Michael Ford (D)

Understanding why folks frequently vote against their own self interest.

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

Michael Ford (D)

It is the peoples house, always. The people speak every two years. Congressmen and Congresswomen have to listen to those who elect them or else they can be replaced. It makes them responsive.

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

Michael Ford (D)

Not particularly.

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

Michael Ford (D)

Climate change, relationships with Russia and China, and returning to the old values of acceptance of reality even when we don't like it.

What are your thoughts on term limits?

Michael Ford (D)

Term limits were not provided in our Constitution. We should be very careful before we make changes. It is well to be rid of a despot, but we are ill served if we remove a statesman or patriot.

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

Michael Ford (D)

In certain circumstances, compromise is essential if agreement is to be reached. On the other hand, fundamental principles cannot be sacrificed on the altar expedience. What do you have if you sacrifice good to evil? Half good or half evil? What is that? Another way to look at it is: if you make a "compromise" of good food and poison, what happens if you eat the result? Sometimes a compromise can be fatal.

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.
• 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 2022. Information below was calculated on May 19, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

Eighty-two candidates filed to run in Georgia’s 14 U.S. House districts, including 31 Democrats and 51 Republicans. That’s 5.86 candidates per district, more than the 5.5 candidates per district in 2020 and the 3.42 in 2018. This was the first election to take place under new district lines following the 2020 census. Georgia was apportioned 14 districts, the same number it was apportioned after the 2010 census.

The 82 candidates who ran this year were the most candidates running for Georgia's U.S. House seats since at least 2012, the earliest year for which we have data.

Two seats — the 6th and the 10th — were open, meaning no incumbents filed to run. That’s one less than in 2020, when three seats were open. There were no open seats in 2018, one in 2016, and three in 2014. Rep. Jody Hice (R), who represented the 10th district, ran for Georgia Secretary of State. Thirteen candidates — five Democrats and eight Republicans — ran to replace him, the most candidates running for a seat this year.

Rep. Lucy McBath (D), who represented the 6th district, ran in the 7th district. She was the only incumbent running in a different district than the one she represented. Rep. Carolyn Bourdeaux (D), the incumbent in the 7th district, ran for re-election. That made the 7th district the only district featuring two incumbents running against each other.

There were eight contested Democratic primaries this year, the same number as in 2020 and 2018, and nine contested Republican primaries, one more than in 2020 and the highest number since at least 2012. There were eight incumbents in contested primaries, the most since at least 2012.

Five incumbents did not face any primary challengers. Candidates filed to run in the Republican and Democratic primaries in all 14 districts, so no seats were guaranteed to either party this year. The last year in which a party was guaranteed a seat because no candidate from the other party filed was 2018, when then-incumbent Rep. John Lewis (D) ran unopposed in the general election for the 5th district.
