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."


Key Messages

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.

Submitted Biography "I’m Tracey, Verhoeven, and I am running for U.S. House of Representatives, Congressional District 11. Since I was a child, I knew that I wanted to run for office and be of service. My father was a fallen police officer and that installed a sense of duty in me. My mother said I came out of the womb wanting to make the world a better place. I remember always fighting injustice whether it was standing up to a bully for a schoolmate or fighting for a better system. My mom used to love to tell the story that when I was in Kindergarten, I led a boycott. I remember that our milk would sit unrefrigerated for hours before our lunch. It made no sense to me even as a little kid. Since the teachers wouldn’t do anything about it, I told all of the other kindergarteners to boycott the milk and bring juice in a thermos instead. They refrigerated it. If I wasn’t boycotting milk in kindergarten, I was picking up garbage around the neighborhood and trying to invent huge air purifiers in the sky where it would suck up factory pollution. My father's sacrifice wasn't in vain. It taught me about honor, integrity, doing the right thing, and to be of service. I would be honored to be of service to the people of Georgia."


Key Messages

To read this candidate's full survey responses, click here.


I am tired of the divisiveness. When I ran for a Non- Partisan seat years ago, I was fortunate to have the experience of speaking to all voters regardless of party. I found that when we really listen to each other, we agree more than we disagree. I plan on finding common ground and finding solutions that we can agree on.


I learned when I was younger that there is no such thing as competition. There’s only competition within yourself and if you are the perfect person for the job. I really want to make people’s lives better. I believe in what the Founding Fathers originally intended in the Declaration of Independence and that was for the people to have inalienable rights of “life, liberty and happiness.” You can’t have freedom, life or be happy when you are constantly fighting for those rights. If it was up to me, I would ensure that everyone did.


Being a small business owner, working in the corporate world, and also working in the entertainment field years ago helped shape my solution oriented mindset. I have always had jobs where I needed to be creative and have good communication skills in order to get things done. They may be cliche but communication is the key to everything and thinking out of the box are my strengths.

They may be cliche but communication is the key to everything and thinking out of the box are my strengths.
I'm passionate about making Americans First-Class Citizens again and removing the influence of foreign governments from our internal politics, such as when the President of Mexico asks Mexican citizens in America to vote to advance Mexican interests. Divided loyalty is not loyalty.

I'm also distressed that our elected politicians have made a deal to import cheaper labor and give them bundles of benefits, which they then force American citizens to pay for by taxing them. Americans are not the pack mules of foreign nationals!

I also watch our younger people, men in particular, floundering, and want to see us give them the support they deserve, instead of blaming them for every imaginary evil on the planet.
I have a 7-year-old who has ADHD, and a mom with Alzheimers. Georgia is one of the top states for caregiver burnout. Childcare and Eldercare is expensive. I would like to see free preschool for children starting at 2 years old and tax breaks for both childcare and for eldercare caregivers. Since 80 percent of all Americans think that there should be better background checks and red flag laws, I would like to see this enacted. I would like to see the middle-class flourish by creating more small businesses. Also, protecting women’s freedom for reproductive healthcare access, including the right to life-saving medical procedures.
Everywhere I look I see good people who make different kinds of mistakes; sometimes they learn and sometimes they don't. Learning from mistakes I find to be very worthwhile; regrettably, experience is the best but most unforgiving teacher.

I have a few friends who are unusually honest, hardworking and charitable. I have other acquaintances who suffered devastating trauma as children and they impress me because they are determined to overcome the fallout which has so many lifelong facets. Their determination amazes me.

But in politics, I admire the man who has the vision to recognize a problem and its solution and the courage to stand alone to address it, if need be. Such men are the rarest people on earth and quite possibly the most important. Andrew Jackson ridding us of the national bank is one example. Many members of our revolutionary generation also had such courage and determination.

I want to be the person who sees the problem, has the courage to analyze it to its roots, say what I see, act upon it, and keep my eyes fixed upon it, even when the smears are thrown at me like it's people's favorite game- which it often is.
Edmund Burke's 1775 speech to the British Parliament called, "Conciliation with America."

John Locke's Second Treatise on Government.

Murray Rothbard book on Money and Banking - can't recall exactly which one.

Some of Thomas Jefferson's private letters.

Too many others to list.

On folks suffering from trauma, a couple of primers: "United We Stand: A Book for People With Multiple Personalities" by Eliana Gil; and "A Fractured Mind: My Life with Multiple Personality Disorder" by Robert Oxnam.
Determination, courage, good reasoning abilities, understanding of how law works, loyalty to Americans, and a belief that healthy and prosperous Americans are a good thing.
Integrity, honesty and willing to connect with other legislators as well as your constituents. Having common sense doesn't hurt either.
When I think about a subject seriously, I almost never take it at face value. If it's important, I will chip away at the layers covering its core until I reach the core and fully understand it. And then I'll learn I don't fully understand it, and I'll chip away some more, always trying to reach an accurate understanding of the fundamental qualities. Too many people take one barnacle off the boat and call it "done." Then, when the boat still doesn't perform well, they wonder why but shrug it off. I don't shrug it off.
To show up for work, meet and listen to constituents, apply a lifetime's worth of knowledge to issues, work for the betterment of Americans and not foreign nationals, and to preserve American lives as well as enrich them by freeing them from burdensome government. It's important to challenge institutional practices which are not working and to find new ways to do things. It's also important to be very transparent about what is driving a particular policy or decision, because Americans DESERVE to know the whys and the wherefores.
"Legacy" is a cheap, self-centered word. Ronald Reagan said it's amazing how much you can get done if you don't mind who gets the credit, and those are words to live by.
I want to leave a legacy where people can point to meaningful improvements and know I played a part in making a positive difference. Whether through small contributions or larger efforts, I aim to help create lasting change that improves lives and strengthens our communities.
I delivered the afternoon newspaper, the Atlanta Journal, in 1971, right when I turned 13. I had it about 5 months before we moved.
I have been working since I was ten years old as a babysitter. At thirteen, I worked at Marty's Custom Costumes, and three years later I worked at Carl's in Sacramento, CA helping bring revenue to our family.
Edmund Burke's speech on "Conciliation with America" always fills me with growing pride for Americans. He elucidates how Americans took an almost empty land and made it a powerhouse in historically record time. He sets it out, almost brick by brick. We are an amazing people. It also warns me about the math of an expanding foreign population, as do the books by Mark Steyn.
I want to be a bird, made for flying. That would be the best thing ever, except living outdoors 24/7.
U2, "One."
After my mom passed, one of the last moments we shared was singing “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” by Tears for Fears together. Now, it feels like I hear that song everywhere I go, almost as if she’s still with me.
The Power of the Purse. This muscular power has atrophied in part because House representatives fear our media's irresponsible and superficial coverage of budget fights. As R.F.K., Jr. said, the media has become "government mouthpieces and stenographers for the organs of power."
The imposition of term limits will help rejuvenate the use of the Power of the Purse because if you're not singularly focused on re-election, you're risking less when you won't sign off on an unlimited credit card for government.  Right now, it's nothing but a rubber-stamp on the budget.
The power of the Speaker of the House needs to be reduced and returned to the House as a whole. The idea that currently four or five people meet to decide the fate of this nation destroys actual representation by the 430 other people sent to represent their citizens.
It's a double-edged sword. It is beneficial to understand how it works, but in my experience, once most people become a part of government, they take on the viewpoints and priorities of those whose interests are not the interests of the American people as a whole, but rather, discrete interests.

Real-world experience in business or the professions is clearly exceptionally helpful. I remember Democratic presidential candidate George McGovern starting a small business called the Stratford Inn, lamenting after he left politics that

“I’m for protecting the health and well-being of both workers and consumers. I’m for a clean environment and economic justice. But I’m convinced we can pursue those worthy goals and still cut down vastly on the incredible paperwork, the complicated tax forms, the number of minute regulations, and the seemingly endless reporting requirements that afflict American business. Many businesses, especially small independents such as the Stratford Inn, simply can’t pass such costs on to their customers and remain competitive or profitable.”

What McGovern Learned » Richard Nixon Foundation

A background in law is of assistance, because it gives some understanding how laws are applied in the real world and some exposure to the military is also helpful. In short, many life experiences are helpful.
I think it is important for a representative to have empathy and the ability to connect with their constituents.
Repatriating 25+ million illegal foreign nationals and limiting legal immigration.

Getting our federal budget cut down to size so inflation will be manageable.

Rolling back multi-faceted anti-family and anti-male policies the Establishment has imposed, making the youngest members of our society unhappier than ever.

We deserve Ma Bell, not Big Brother. Altering the legal status of big tech and its manipulations and strangulation of free speech and deplatforming, which may require a completely new legal approach to reduce, limit, or eliminate the disproportionate influence of tech companies and their owners on political and other expression.

Artificial Intelligence use and misuse. This technology is germinating under our watch, and whatever we do or fail to do, will reverberate possibly for hundreds of years or millennia. Commercial interests alone cannot be permitted to determine its course. If our current constitutional and regulatory paradigms do not adequately address the reality of AI, then we must alter them to adjust to reality.

Dismantling or restructuring those parts of the executive branch, which, without Americans' approval or consent, are spying on and censoring American citizens contrary to our unalienable rights. Relatedly those parts of the executive branch which are destabilizing regions around the world must be reined in or eliminated. Americans do not want and cannot afford, to be both the destroyer and restorer of nations around the world.

Returning our manufacturing and industrial base from other countries in order to be self-sufficient even in emergencies or war, and to provide our working-age citizens with opportunities.

Restoring integrity to our medical and pharmacological systems and re-examining our system of payments and/or insurance for medical care. Our current system inflates costs and burdens our people. We need less paper-pushing and more care, to get more bang for our bucks.
Two-years is fine. The real problem I am discovering, is the fundraising. It takes huge amounts of money for things such as text messages to voters, web ads, signs, et cetera. I've been told by more than one person that I should spend 35 to 40 hours per week just on fundraising. This will definitely dampen your enthusiasm for running for office.
I support a constitutional amendment to limit U.S. House representatives to three two-year terms, and the U.S. Senate to two six-year terms as proposed by U.S. Term Limits. See more at www.TermLimits.org.

I would personally prefer two four-year terms for senators, however, passing a constitutional amendment is difficult, and therefore I defer to those who are working hard to get the above limits passed.

The anti-Federalists contended in the 1780s that a senate term of six years would create an aristocracy, which of course has turned out to be correct. Senators usually leave in a wheelchair or a coffin.

Rep. Massie of Kentucky believes they would not solve the problem, but I have little doubt they would be massively helpful.
Rep. Jared Golden, Maine, Democrat, because among other reasons, he wrote an op-ed for the Bangor Daily News, stating, "While I don't plan to vote for him, Donald Trump is going to win. And I'm OK with that. ... [t]he idea that a Trump victory is not just a political loss, but a unique threat to our democracy. I reject the premise. Unlike Biden and many others, I refuse to participate in a campaign to scare voters with the idea that Trump will end our democratic system."

https://www.bangordailynews.com/2024/07/02/opinion/opinion-contributor/jared-golden-donald-trump-going-to-win-election-democracy-be-just-fine/

Also, Rep. Thomas Massie, Kentucky, Republican, is a judicious independent thinker, and Rep. Matt Gaetz, Florida, Republican, has courage, brings the fire, and is willing to move doors and windows. The House definitely needs some remodeling; it's not working!
An elderly couple told me they had emptied their retirement accounts to purchase a home for their adult child and his wife, because they simply could not afford a home in the current environment.

Another young married couple told me that even with both of them working, they were struggling financially. Clearly our current economic policies don't support successful family formation, and it is so unnecessary.

Another person who works full-time pays $800 per month for medical insurance and she suffers migraines. She told me the medicine that worked was denied by her insurance company and what was substituted is making her migraines worse. Our medical system of payments is not working. We have to critically examine it and improve it.
When our community recognized that the Democratic candidate who won the primary in CD-11 was, in fact, a MAGA Republican, we united to ensure our voices were truly represented. I was honored to be invited to join this effort. Today, I am proud to stand as the genuine Democratic candidate for our district. The Democratic Party of Georgia made history by disavowing the impostor candidate and officially endorsing my campaign. From state leadership to local citizens, we have come together to turn what could have been a choice-less ballot into a powerful statement for our shared Democratic values.
I am not sure that I would qualify this as a favorite joke, but my son said this the other day and I thought it was cute and relevant. "Where do polar bears vote? The North Poll!'
It is frequently inevitable, and occasionally desirable, but too often used as a cloak for cowardice or subterfuge.
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.

Right now, the House punts EVERY TIME on the budget. This makes them the worst, most predictable football team EVER. I will not be one of those pushovers.

The Senate routinely lets House bills languish without votes, including the impeachment articles against the actual immigration czar Alexander Mayorkas.* Just deny the Senate spending bills for a while, and they'll come around.

I would do my best to support using an actual budget process instead of huge 2,000 page bills, and work to use the budget power to reduce inflation of food, gas, and housing.

Further, I would relish using the power to force transparency from rogue agencies and to punish bureaucrats who don't recognize proper limits to their power.

I will not vote for a Continuing Resolution that does not reduce spending.

Fear of irresponsible media coverage 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.

  • He can Americanize his name just like immigrants before him.
In whatever ways will be most likely to crumble the edifice of overbearing government and help Americans prosper.
I was endorsed in early spring by the 2024 Georgia Win List, Georgia Stonewall Democrats, and the Atlanta-North Georgia Labor Council. I was also endorsed by the Democratic Party of Georgia and all the District 11 Democratic Parties.
Homeland Security includes Border Security and Enforcement, which is of prime interest. Also the Judiciary committee because it includes a subcommittee on immigration and enforcement and has a subcommittee on federal government surveillance. But I'm not fooling myself; getting on some committees takes a miracle.
I would like to be on the Veterans Affairs Committee. Though my father wasn't in the military, he was a cop killed in the line of duty. Both grandfathers were in the military so my heart is with the people who have sacrificed so much for our safety. I would like to be wherever they need me however the Small Business Small Business and Entrepreneurship is something that I would enjoy. Small businesses are the backbone of the middle class, and we need to focus on seeing the middle-class flourish.
"Financial transparency" for whom? If for the government, then I agree with the idea someone suggested to put the entire federal government checking account registers online so you can see every item. Government accountability is something else: all these agencies in these buildings where no one can check on them. "Checks and balances" sound good in theory and sometimes in practice, but a legislature is not match for the Bureaucratic State. We need to examine how federal bureaucracies can be made transparent, because they are not.

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.[4]
  • 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.[5][6][7]

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.

This made Georgia's 11th the 93rd most Republican district nationally.[9]
