Georgia's 14th congressional district is a United States congressional district in Georgia. The district is represented by Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene. Located in Northwest Georgia, it was created following the 2010 census, when the state gained a 14th seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. With a Cook Partisan Voting Index of R+22, it is tied with the 9th district for the most Republican congressional district in Georgia.[3]

The district is mostly rural and exurban in character. Like most of north Georgia, it has turned almost solidly Republican. While conservative Democrats held most local offices and state legislative seats in what is now the 14th well into the 1990s, today there are almost no elected Democrats above the county level. The Democrats have only nominated a candidate in four of the six elections since the district was created, with their best result being 34.1% in the 2022 election.

Composition

[edit]

The district is in northwest Georgia and includes the cities of Rome, Calhoun and Dalton. The congressional district includes the following counties in Northwest Georgia:[4] After the 2020 census, the congressional map was altered to remove Haralson County and Pickens County and add the western portion of Cobb County.

The three northernmost counties (Catoosa, Dade, and Walker) in the district are part of the Chattanooga, Tennessee metropolitan area and television market, with the central and southern portions reckoned as exurbs of Atlanta.
