Incumbent Republican Andrew Clyde is the projected winner against Democrat Challenger Tambrei Cash for Georgia’s 9th Congressional District.
At around 8 p.m., the Associated Press called the race with 29-percent reporting.
Clyde leads 70-percent to Cash’s 30-percent as of 11:15 p.m. with 92-percent reporting.
“Inability to keep ourselves in check when it comes to spending is the greatest internal threat I think that our nation has and that has to be the focus,” Clyde said after winning.
In 2022, the 9th district spanned most of northeast Georgia including Hall County and northern Gwinnett County and went from Fannin and Gilmer counties down to Hart Counties.
Now, the district covers Jackson County but excludes Lumpkin, Franklin, and Hart counties. It has also gone further into Gwinnett County.
“We’ve got a lot of work ahead of us, but literally tomorrow I’ll be back in Washington D.C.,” Clyde said.
