Georgia 7th Congressional District — 2026

Georgia U.S. House, district 7 is on the November 3, 2026 ballot. A representative serves two years. The district, not the statewide popular vote, elects the member. In plain terms, what is at stake is one two-year vote in the House, including the votes that organize the chamber. It is not a national scoreboard. Control of a chamber, where the office sits in one, depends on every other seat as well. This page is one contest.

The principal names on the guide are Richard McCormick (Republican, marked incumbent on the cited list); Tony Kozycki (Democrat). The guide also carries this listing note: The Clerk’s nominee list marks Richard McCormick with an asterisk for an incumbent in the 119th Congress. Richard McCormick is cited to Office of the Clerk, U.S. House of Representatives, nominees for U.S. senator and U.S. representative, November 3, 2026 (published October 8, 2026). Tony Kozycki is cited to Office of the Clerk, U.S. House of Representatives, nominees for U.S. senator and U.S. representative, November 3, 2026 (published October 8, 2026). Each of those sentences identifies a listing. It does not quote a speech. A campaign site is the candidate’s own words. This preview does not paste one unless a sentence above names that page, and these sentences name the election-office or Clerk list instead.

No named-outlet rating is stored on this guide. An empty rating line is not a Toss-up and not a forecast. This guide does not store an individual survey with both major figures filled in. The absence is not a forecast. Aggregator links on the page point at outlets that may publish later surveys.

The current representative’s term ends in January 2027 because the term is two years. The 2024 canvass for this district is a record of that map and that year. It is not a 2026 projection. District lines can put a seat in a different political place than the statewide vote. The House finder and the state election office, not a ZIP code, assign the district.

Georgia counts this ballot under its own calendar. Registration, early voting, and mail-ballot deadlines that this site has checked sit on the voting-deadlines page and on the state hub, each tied to an official page. Totals on election night are unofficial. Mail ballots, provisional ballots, and any later round the state requires can move them. Turnout is a ratio that changes with the denominator — voting-age population, registered voters, or ballots counted — and the Census Bureau’s survey is not the same instrument as the canvass. Nothing here is a call.
