Georgia's 7th congressional district is a congressional district in the U.S. state of Georgia . It is currently represented by Republican Rob Woodall , though the district's boundaries have been redrawn following the 2010 census , which granted an additional congressional seat to Georgia.[4] The first election using the new district boundaries (listed below) were the 2012 congressional elections .
The district includes portions of the northeast Atlanta metropolitan area , including the cities of Peachtree Corners , Norcross , Cumming , Lawrenceville , Duluth , Snellville , Suwanee , and Buford .[5]
While the district has traditionally been known as a Republican stronghold, it has undergone significant demographic changes in recent years. In the 2018 midterm elections, Woodall won reelection by only 433 votes, or 0.15%, against Democrat Carolyn Bourdeaux, and his victory was only confirmed after a recount. In terms of both absolute numbers and vote percentage, it was the closest U.S. House race in the country in 2018.
