The 13th district is based in the southwest suburbs and exurbs of Atlanta. The incumbent was Democrat David Scott, who was re-elected with 71.8% of the vote in 2024 and was running for re-election until his death in April 2026.[2]
Scott faced criticism from fellow Democrats due to his age; he would have been 81 years old at the beginning of the next Congress, as well as reports from his voting record revealing that he had not cast a single vote in the last six election cycles, including the 2024 United States presidential election.[83] Scott faced several primary challengers, but stated he was running for re-election to a 13th term in Congress.[84] Scott died on April 22, 2026. His name remained on the Democratic primary ballot, but votes for him were not counted in the official tally.[85]
