2020 United States House of Representatives elections in Georgia

The 2020 United States House of Representatives elections in Georgia were held on November 3, 2020, to elect the 14 U.S. representatives from the state of Georgia, one from each of the state's 14 congressional districts. The elections coincided with the 2020 U.S. presidential election, as well as other elections to the House of Representatives, elections to the United States Senate and various state and local elections.
Primaries were held on June 9, 2020, coinciding with primaries for U.S. President, U.S. Senate, General Assembly, county and regional prosecutorial offices as well as local non-partisan elections. It was the first time since 1994 that both major parties contested all congressional districts in the state, even though the Democratic nominee for the 14th district had suspended his campaign prior to the general election; it was also the first time since 2012 that Republicans contested all districts, as it was for Democrats for the first time since 2008.

In the Republican primary, neurologist John Cowan, and noted conspiracy theorist Marjorie Taylor Greene, advanced to the runoff election on August 11. After the first round of the election, "Politico" unearthed videos published by Greene where she expressed racist, anti-Semitic, and Islamophobic views, which led to condemnations from Kevin McCarthy and Steve Scalise. Greene defeated Cowan in the Republican runoff on August 11, 2020.
Democrat Kevin Van Ausdal suspended his campaign for "personal and family reasons" on September 11, 2020. It later emerged that he opted to move in with relatives in Indiana after being forced to vacate his house under the terms of a pending divorce. Reportedly, his wife divorced him because of death threats they were receiving. He did not have enough money to pay for a place to live while the divorce was pending, and federal campaign finance law does not allow candidates to use campaign funds for housing. As a result, Van Ausdal was forced to move out of Georgia, which made him ineligible for the seat. House candidates are required to at least live in the state they wish to represent.
