Georgia's 1st Congressional District race for the open U.S. House seat features Republican Jim Kingston and Democrat Amanda Hollowell ahead of the November 3, 2026 general election. Kingston secured the GOP nomination outright in the May primary with support from President Trump and later received backing from Governor Brian Kemp, while Hollowell advanced through the Democratic primary and June runoff. The coastal district has not elected a Democrat in more than three decades, and recent campaign focus has centered on affordability issues such as groceries and utilities, with both candidates releasing related plans. Kingston maintains a significant fundraising edge and benefits from the area's established Republican voting patterns, though early voting begins October 13 and national economic conditions could influence turnout.
