Georgia's 9th congressional district is acongressional district in the north of theU.S. state ofGeorgia. The district is represented byRepublicanAndrew Clyde, who succeeded fellow RepublicanDoug Collins.[5] The district is mostly rural and exurban in character, though it stretches intoHall (home to the district's largest city,Gainesville) andGwinnett counties onAtlanta's northern fringe.
The district has a heavy Republican lean.Donald Trump carried the district with almost 78 percent of the vote in 2016, his fourth-best showing in the nation. With aCook Partisan Voting Index of R+17, it is one of the most Republican districts in Georgia.[4] The district swung rapidly into the Republican column after then-congressman and future governorNathan Deal switched parties in 1995. Since then, only twoDemocrats running in the district have crossed the 30 percent mark.
Republicans are no less dominant at the state and local level. It was one of the first areas of Georgia where old-line Southern Democrats began splitting their tickets in federal elections. Despite this, even as the district turned increasingly Republican at the national level (Jimmy Carter is the only Democratic presidential candidate to carry the district since 1960), conservative Democrats still held most local offices well into the 1990s. However, after Deal's party switch, Republicans gradually eroded the Democratic advantage, with the help of other party switchers. By the early 21st century, there were almost no elected Democrats left above the county level.
Much of this district was the10th district from 2003 to 2007; it became the 9th once again in a mid-decade redistricting.
Four-term RepublicanDoug Collins announced in January 2020 that he wouldrun for U.S. senator.[6] Collins placed third in the race, behind incumbentKelly Loeffler and her Democratic opponentRaphael Warnock.
