Rich McCormick Wins Reelection in Georgia’s 7th District
Republican Rich McCormick won reelection to the U.S. House on November 3, defeating Democrat Tony Kozycki in Georgia’s 7th Congressional District. The district covers several northern Atlanta suburbs and leans Republican. No vote totals were provided.
McCormick first entered Congress in 2022, elected from Georgia’s 6th District. After Republicans redrew the state’s legislative maps in 2024, he was moved to the 7th District. His victory keeps him in Congress for another term representing the district.
McCormick is an emergency-room doctor and a Marine and Navy veteran. He served as a helicopter pilot, with deployments in Afghanistan, Africa and the Gulf. In the House, he serves on the Armed Services Committee. The election outcome returns him to that role in Congress; the reports did not provide further details about the next term or the candidates’ plans.
McCormick’s Win Follows GOP Redistricting That Shifted His Seat
Rich McCormick’s reelection in Georgia’s 7th District came after Republicans redrew the state’s legislative maps in 2024 and moved him from the 6th District, where he was first elected in 2022. McCormick defeated Democrat Tony Kozycki on November 3 in the metro Atlanta district, which leans Republican.
That map change is central to the political story: McCormick’s path to another House term ran through a district assignment altered by Republican lawmakers. The result gives him another term representing the 7th, but it does not erase the role redistricting played in placing him there. The available election details include no vote totals or further account of the candidates’ positions.
McCormick is an emergency-room doctor, a Marine and Navy veteran, and a former helicopter pilot deployed in Afghanistan, Africa and the Gulf. He serves on the House Armed Services Committee. Those credentials and his committee role will continue with his reelection, while the outcome also leaves the Republican-leaning district represented by the party that redrew the maps.
