Legislator Fact Sheet · Georgia's 13th Congressional District
Everton Blair Jr.
Everton Blair Jr., a Lilburn Democrat and former chair of the Gwinnett County Board of Education, won the August 25, 2026 special-election runoff for Georgia's 13th District over Marcye Scott, daughter of the late Rep. David Scott, and was sworn in on September 1, 2026. He is Georgia's first openly gay member of Congress, and the Human Rights Campaign describes him as the first Black, openly gay member of Congress from the South. The son of Jamaican immigrants, he holds degrees from Harvard and Stanford and was the first Black and first openly gay member of the Gwinnett school board. He is serving out the remainder of Scott's term, which ends in January 2027; in the May primary for the full term, won by Rep. Jasmine Clark, he finished third. All twelve scorecard votes predate his tenure.
