Georgia's 13th District Special Runoff | Atlanta News

Georgia’s 13th Congressional District heads to a high-stakes special election runoff tonight to fill the seat left vacant by the passing of longtime Rep. David Scott, who died in April at 80 after facing health questions and a prior primary challenge. With no candidate seeking the full term starting in January 2027, the winner will serve only the remainder of Scott’s term — a pivotal moment that could further narrow the already razor-thin Republican majority in the House. Voters across six counties will decide between two Democrats, amid historically low turnout in runoffs. A state legislator who was once considered a contender opted out due to conflicting term rules, adding intrigue to an already unique race where the district will need a new representative come the next full election cycle.
