Georgia is on the DLCC’s 2026 Target Map.
After two decades of GOP control, 2026 is a historic opportunity to pick up seats in Georgia and build for future majorities. Over the last several cycles, DLCC has helped Georgia Democrats win many key races and make gains that weaken the GOP’s majorities.
Democrats have made gains in the Georgia House for 5 consecutive cycles and we’re ready to do it again.Â
GOP majorities in both chambers have rubber-stamped Trump’s disastrous agenda and made the state ground zero for the spread of election misinformation and attacks on voting rights – the stakes couldn’t be higher to capitalize on the historic opportunity to make gains in both chambers. In the face of an aggressive gerrymander, Georgia Democrats will continue to fight to make progress to lower costs and expand opportunities for working families.
DLCC Target Races
Redistricting Update
Gov. Brian Kemp has called a June special session to redraw both congressional and state legislative maps ahead of 2028 following the Callais ruling. There is no prohibition on redrawing congressional districts mid-decade, and the maps are passed with a simple majority as regular legislation, subject to gubernatorial veto.
The DLCC is targeting both Georgia chambers in 2026 to build potential majorities on the path to 2030. Democrats are just 10 seats away from a House majority and 6 seats away from a Senate majority.
