By Tia Mitchell
Nov 9, 2022U.S. Rep. Lucy McBath will be representing Georgia’s 7th Congressional District in Congress after winning her election tonight.
McBath is currently the 6th District representative, but it was redrawn in a way that made it tough for Democrats like her to win so she decided to run in the neighboring 7th. The Associated Press said she defeated Republican Mark Gonsalves.
