Detroit, MI, July 27, 2026 —
A special election is underway in Georgia’s 13th Congressional District to fill the seat vacated by the passing of U.S. Representative David Scott.
Six candidates are vying for the position, with the election’s outcome potentially influencing the delicate balance of power within the U.S. House of Representatives.
The contest features a field of six hopefuls, each seeking to represent the district’s constituents. The election process is designed to ensure a clear mandate from the voters.
Should no single candidate secure an outright majority of the votes cast in the initial election, the process will move to a runoff. In such a scenario, the two candidates who receive the highest number of votes will proceed to a subsequent election to determine the final winner.
The results of this special election are being closely watched by political observers due to their potential implications for the overall composition and voting dynamics of the House of Representatives.
