Two Georgian Democrats in Congress forced into the same primary

• Georgia Democratic Representatives Carolyn Bourdeaux and Lucy McBath compete in 2022.
• The two moderate incumbents are more alike than different.
• Voters of color in Georgia’s diverse 7th District will have to choose between the two rising stars.

ATLANTA, Georgia — Redistricting Georgia has voters like Amber Myers choosing between two Democratic incumbents — U.S. Representatives Carolyn Bourdeaux and Lucy McBath — in the upcoming primary election in May.

Myers said she had to decide whether to support one of her favorite politicians, Bourdeaux, or “see a black woman like me win.”
