Jasmine Clark secured the Democratic nomination for Georgia’s 13th congressional district after winning the May 2026 primary outright with 56 percent of the vote in the open race triggered by longtime incumbent David Scott’s death. The suburban Atlanta district remains a solidly Democratic seat, as reflected in nonpartisan race ratings from Cook, Sabato, and others labeling it Safe or Solid Democratic. Clark’s advantages include strong primary fundraising exceeding $1 million, her background as a state representative and Emory-trained microbiologist, and the district’s consistent Democratic performance in recent cycles. Republican nominee Jonathan Chavez, an Air Force veteran who ran unopposed in his primary, faces structural headwinds in a constituency where Democratic candidates have prevailed by wide margins. A late scandal, health event, or sharp turnout shift could theoretically alter the race, though no such developments have emerged.
