In this conservative, coastal Georgia-based district, incumbent Republican Congressman
Jack Kingston ran for re-election to a seventh term in Congress. Kingston was re-elected in the general election without any opposition whatsoever.
Georgia's 1st congressional district election, 2004
Incumbent Democratic Congressman
Sanford Bishop did not face a credible threat to his re-election in this liberal-leaning, southwest Georgia district. Opposed by Republican Dave Eversman, a businessman and local
chamber of commerce official, Bishop was overwhelmingly re-elected.
Georgia's 2nd congressional district election, 2004
In 2002,
Jim Marshall was narrowly elected to Congress in this conservative, central Georgia-based district. This year, Congressman Marshall faced a rematch against businessman Calder Clay, who was the Republican nominee for Congress. In a significant improvement over his previous performance, Marshall crushed Clay with over sixty percent of the vote, surprising given the fact that President
George W. Bushcarried the district comfortably.
Georgia's 3rd congressional district election, 2004
One-term incumbent Democratic Congresswoman
Denise Majette opted to
run for Senate, creating an open seat in the House.
Cynthia McKinney, the previous representative of this district, ran for her sixth nonconsecutive term in Congress. McKinney faced Republican Party official Catherine Davis in the general election, whom she defeated, but by a smaller margin than expected in this solidly liberal district.
Georgia's 4th congressional district election, 2004
John Lewis, the dean of the Georgia congressional delegation, ran for his tenth term in this solidly liberal,
Atlanta-based district. Just as with the previous election, Congressman Lewis was unopposed in the general election and coasted to re-election.
Georgia's 5th congressional district election, 2004
When three-term incumbent Republican Congressman
Johnny Isakson sought
election to the Senate, an open seat emerged. Physician
Tom Price became the Republican nominee after surviving a contentious primary that featured many candidates and a
run-off election. Seeing as no Democratic candidate filed to run in this district, Price was sent to his first term in Congress without opposition. However, in this conservative district based in the northern suburbs of
Atlanta, the Republican primary is
tantamount to election, so Price would not have faced a serious challenge in either case.
Georgia's 6th congressional district election, 2004
In Republican Congressman
John Linder’s bid for a seventh term, he faced no opposition in any form and was successful in his re-election in this staunchly conservative district, which wraps around the northern collar of the suburbs of
Atlanta.
Georgia's 7th congressional district election, 2004
Though Republican Congressman
Mac Collins could have easily won a seventh term in this solidly conservative, gerrymandered district based in the southern suburbs of
Atlanta and rural north-central Georgia, he instead opted to
run for Senate.
Lynn Westmoreland, the Republican leader in the
Georgia House of Representatives, became the Republican nominee and faced off against Democratic candidate Silvia Delamar. Delamar did not face a fighting chance in this district that has a proclivity for electing Republicans, and on election day, she was crushed by Westmoreland.
Georgia's 8th congressional district election, 2004
Though popular Republican Congressman
Charlie Norwood faced a challenge from Democrat Bob Ellis, he might as well have been unopposed in this solidly conservative district based in
north Georgia and some of the suburbs of
Atlanta and
Augusta. Come election day, Congressman Norwood was overwhelmingly re-elected to his sixth term in Congress.
Georgia's 9th congressional district election, 2004
Though he was originally elected as a Democrat, incumbent Congressman
Nathan Deal has built a solid profile as a conservative Republican. In this
north Georgia district, Deal did not face a Democratic opponent, which meant that he was easily elected to his seventh term.
Georgia's 10th congressional district election, 2004
Republican Congressman
Phil Gingrey has represented this conservative-leaning district since 2002 and ran for his second term this year. The 11th district, which is somewhat moderate only because it is heavily gerrymandered, has a shape that has been described as similar to that of
Indonesia.[2] Congressman Gingrey faced a challenge from Rick Crawford, the chairman of the
Polk County Democratic Party and a special Assistant Attorney General of Georgia. Gingrey ultimately beat Crawford by a somewhat comfortable margin, undoubtedly helped by the strong performance of President Bush in Georgia
that year.
Georgia's 11th congressional district election, 2004
Though one-term Republican Congressman
Max Burns has managed to win election in 2002 in this Democratic-leaning district, which stretches from
Athens down to the western suburbs of
Savannah, his stroke of luck vanished by 2004. Burns faced a scandal- and controversy-free Democratic opponent in
Athens-Clarke County Commissioner
John Barrow. In a bitterly fought election, Barrow ousted Burns and won his first term in Congress.
Georgia's 12th congressional district election, 2004
Originally elected in 2002 in a gerrymandered district drawn to elect a Democrat, incumbent Congressman
David Scott sought election to a second term in Congress. Congressman Scott did not face any sort of challenge in his re-election bid, so he was sent back to
Washington unopposed.
