Georgia's 13th congressional district
U.S. House district for Georgia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Georgia's 13th congressional district is a congressional district in the U.S. state of Georgia. The district is currently vacant, following the death of Democrat David Scott, who had represented the district since 2003.[4] The district's boundaries have been redrawn following the 2010 census, which granted Georgia an additional congressional seat.[5] The first election using the new district boundaries (listed below) were the 2012 congressional elections.
