Georgia's 6th congressional district
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Georgia's 6th Congressional District has been represented in the United States House of Representatives by Tom Price (Republican) since 2005.
The district has existed since the 29th Congress (1845-1847), the first Congress in which Representatives were elected from districts, rather than at-large. Georgia gained a sixth Representative for the first time in the 13th Congress (1813-1815).
