Georgia's 7th congressional district is a congressional district in the U.S. state of Georgia. It is currently represented by Democrat Lucy McBath.
The district includes portions of the northeast Atlanta metropolitan area, including the cities of Johns Creek, Peachtree Corners, Norcross, Lawrenceville, Duluth, Snellville, Suwanee, and Buford. It covers most of Gwinnett County and a portion of northeastern Fulton County.
From 2013 to 2023, the district included most of Gwinnett County and portions of Forsyth County.
Although the seat had been held by Republicans from 1995 until 2021, the 7th district had previously elected Democrats consistently from the Reconstruction era (1868) until the 1994 Congressional Elections. The district has recently become friendlier to Democrats as a result of significant demographic changes, particularly the growth of Black, Hispanic and Asian populations. In the 2018 midterm elections, Republican Rob 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. In 2020, Bourdeaux was elected to represent the district in Congress.
