Nov. 9—Cobb's two incumbent congressional representatives have been reelected, while a new congressman will represent the redrawn 6th Congressional District and an incumbent was reelected in a district that will include part of south Cobb beginning next year.

U.S. Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Rome, David Scott, D-Atlanta, and Barry Loudermilk, R-Cassville, handily defeated their challengers on their way to reelection. Dr. Rich McCormick, the Republican running in the 6th District, was victorious shortly before 11 p.m. Tuesday.

Greene, whose redrawn district will include a portion of southwest Cobb in January, was challenged by Democrat Marcus Flowers to represent Georgia's 14th Congressional District. Greene had received 169,987 votes, or 65.9%, to Flowers' 88,018 votes, or 34.1%, just after 10 a.m. Wednesday. The Associated Press projected Greene's victory at 8:51 p.m. Tuesday.

Scott, meanwhile, led with 205,616 votes, or 81.8%, to Republican Caesar Gonzales' 48,129 votes, or 18.2%, just after 10 a.m. Wednesday. The AP projected Scott's victory at 8:05 p.m. Tuesday.

Loudermilk led Democratic challenger Antonio Daza in the race for Georgia's 11th Congressional District just after 10 a.m. Wednesday. Loudermilk had 189,146 votes, or 62.7%, to Daza's 112,722 votes, or 37.3%. The AP projected Loudermilk's victory as of 10:23 p.m. Tuesday.

McCormick led with 202,715 votes, or 62.4%, over Democrat Bob Christian's 122,053 votes, or 37.6%, shortly after 10 a.m. Wednesday. The AP projected McCormick's victory at 10:56 p.m. Tuesday.
