Two incumbent House Democrats will compete in a primary for a newly drawn Georgia district on Tuesday, setting up a clash between different factions of the party.
After Georgia’s Republican-led redistricting process, Rep. Lucy McBath announced she would vacate her 6th District seat to run in the newly drawn 7th District instead, where fellow Democratic Rep. Carolyn Bourdeaux would also compete. Georgia’s redistricting process left the suburban Atlanta 6th District friendlier to Republicans than when it elected McBath and the 7th District friendlier to Democrats. Both congresswomen previously flipped their seats from Republicans.
Although polling in the race is sparse, McBath argued at a recent debate that she is the front-runner in the race “because people know me; they know the work that I've done." At the same debate, Bourdeaux defended her record by arguing she has worked on issues important to Democrats, pointing to her work to expand Medicaid in Georgia, among other causes.
