Related: About this forumDoing my voter research this morning & learned that I am now in the 13th US Congressional District!! I was in the 7th!
They can't stand the fact that Gwinnett County turned Blue, but WTF! We live nowhere near the 13th!
The last general election we had to vote between 2 Democratic incumbents - Lucy McBath & Carolyn Bourdeaux.
We need to flip the whole state Blue!

From what I can tell the 13th US Congressional District is S & SW Atlanta suburbs, heavily minority.

(1,098 posts)MTG. There are 7 candidates vying for the seat.
I consider myself political savvy and am just figuring this out though I knew the districts were redrawn.
When it comes to Judges, DA, Sheriff, Tax Commissioner, etc. I struggle to do my research, especially since the AJC no longer does endorsements.
Suggestions of places to go for research??

(928 posts)...so that it runs from Lawrenceville at the north, Covington at the east, Jonesboro in the west, and a panhandle that runs southeast of Lovejoy. I used to live in Duluth, which is now in the 4th, with about 3/4 of DeKalb County. While she hasn't been "mapped out", they've given McBath a truly, unwieldy, gerrymandered district that might put her into conflict with David Scott, who's served the southside part of this district for years.
