Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Jonathan Chavez (R)

Parents right to choose the educational path for their children.

Change the course of the economy to reduce inflation.

I stand for medical autonomy to choose what you want to inject or not inject into your body based on your doctor's recommendations.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Jonathan Chavez (R)

I stand for parents right to choose how they educate their children and to be instrumental in choosing what they learn, I stand for medical autonomy to choose what we want to inject or not inject into our bodies. I stand for the ability to have the government NOT interfere in your right to choose when, where and how you pray. We need reform of the FBI and its leaders who have chosen a path not congruent with the American way of life. What I stand for is freedom. What we see now are Americans left behind by our government in foreign countries to appease a terror regime we have fought against for the last 20 years. Rising gas prices, Inflation like we have not seen in over 30 years and possibly like what we will never see in our lifetime, empty store shelves reminiscent of how communists run their countries and supply issues that Americans should never have to be faced with. But what we stand to lose is far greater than any monetary or tangible goods we possess, what we stand to lose, is our freedoms. Stand with me and fight against this, together We the people shall overcome. In solidarity, we the people shall fight and as one, we the people shall rise once more.

General election race ratings

See also: Race rating definitions and methods

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from three outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, and Sabato's Crystal Ball. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

• Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
• Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
• Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.
• Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Georgia in 2022. Information below was calculated on May 19, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

Eighty-two candidates filed to run in Georgia’s 14 U.S. House districts, including 31 Democrats and 51 Republicans. That’s 5.86 candidates per district, more than the 5.5 candidates per district in 2020 and the 3.42 in 2018. This was the first election to take place under new district lines following the 2020 census. Georgia was apportioned 14 districts, the same number it was apportioned after the 2010 census.

The 82 candidates who ran this year were the most candidates running for Georgia's U.S. House seats since at least 2012, the earliest year for which we have data.

Two seats — the 6th and the 10th — were open, meaning no incumbents filed to run. That’s one less than in 2020, when three seats were open. There were no open seats in 2018, one in 2016, and three in 2014. Rep. Jody Hice (R), who represented the 10th district, ran for Georgia Secretary of State. Thirteen candidates — five Democrats and eight Republicans — ran to replace him, the most candidates running for a seat this year.

Rep. Lucy McBath (D), who represented the 6th district, ran in the 7th district. She was the only incumbent running in a different district than the one she represented. Rep. Carolyn Bourdeaux (D), the incumbent in the 7th district, ran for re-election. That made the 7th district the only district featuring two incumbents running against each other.

There were eight contested Democratic primaries this year, the same number as in 2020 and 2018, and nine contested Republican primaries, one more than in 2020 and the highest number since at least 2012. There were eight incumbents in contested primaries, the most since at least 2012.

Five incumbents did not face any primary challengers. Candidates filed to run in the Republican and Democratic primaries in all 14 districts, so no seats were guaranteed to either party this year. The last year in which a party was guaranteed a seat because no candidate from the other party filed was 2018, when then-incumbent Rep. John Lewis (D) ran unopposed in the general election for the 5th district.
