Democratic incumbent Jim Marshall faced a very tough challenge by former Congressman Mac Collins, who represented an adjoining district from 1993 to 2005. Less than 60 percent of the population in Marshall's present 3rd District was retained in the new 8th District. The reconfigured 8th includes Butts County, the political base of his opponent, former Congressman Mac Collins, who once served as chairman of the county commission. On the other hand, the 8th also includes all of Macon, where Marshall served as mayor from 1995 to 1999. The race featured heavy spending, not only by the candidates themselves, but from independent groups. During the campaign, President George W. Bush attended a rally to try to help Collins. Marshall won reelection by some 1,700 votes. Marshall was reelected with 63% in 2004, but in 2002 won by only 50.5% to 49.5%. This is one of the most competitive House races in the nation.

This year, Burns sought a rematch. Recent redistricting made this southern Georgia district more mixed, but the balance still favored Democrats. Burns ran a tough campaign and made the race extremely close. In the end, however, Burns lost by 864 votes and ruled out a recount challenge to the certified results. This failure to win the seat by the GOP sealed the unprecedented gains of the Democrats, in which they did not lose a single House seat, Senate Seat or Governorship they held going into the election. 2006 Georgia's 12th congressional district election Georgia (U.S. state) presidential no 2004 United States House of Representatives elections in Georgia#District 12 2004 2008 United States House of Representatives elections in Georgia#District 12 2008 x150px File:John Barrow, official photo portrait color (cropped).jpg John Barrow Democratic Party (United States) 71,651 50.3% File:MaxBurnsCongress.jpg Max Burns Republican Party (United States) 70,787 49.7% File:2006 GA-12.svg 250px County resultsBarrow: #8da9e2 50–60% #678CD7 60–70% #4170cd 70–80%Burns: #ed8783 50–60% #e55651 60–70% #d02923 70–80% U.S. Representative John Barrow Democratic Party (United States) John Barrow Democratic Party (United States) Predictions SourceRankingAs of The Cook Political ReportLikely D November 6, 2006 RothenbergTilt D November 6, 2006 Sabato's Crystal BallTilt D November 6, 2006 Real Clear PoliticsTossup November 7, 2006 CQ PoliticsLean D November 7, 2006 General election results Georgia's 12th congressional district election results, 2006 Democratic Party (United States) John Barrow (incumbent) 71,651 50.3% Republican Party (United States) Max Burns 70,787 49.7% Democratic Party (United States) Republican Party (United States) |- |colspan=6|Source: Georgia Secretary of State https://web.archive.org/web/20070614214407/http://www.sos.state.ga.us/elections/election_results/2006_1107/028.htm June 14, 2007 District 13 Predictions SourceRankingAs of The Cook Political ReportSafe D November 6, 2006 RothenbergSafe D November 6, 2006 Sabato's Crystal BallSafe D November 6, 2006 Real Clear PoliticsSafe D November 7, 2006 CQ PoliticsSafe D November 7, 2006 General election results Georgia's 13th congressional district election results, 2006 Democratic Party (United States) David Scott (incumbent) 103,019 69.2% Republican Party (United States) Deborah Honeycutt 45,770 30.8% Democratic Party (United States) Republican Party (United States) |- |colspan=6|Source: Georgia Secretary of State https://web.archive.org/web/20070614203125/http://www.sos.state.ga.us/elections/election_results/2006_1107/029.htm June 14, 2007 References Georgia 2006 Georgia Category:John Lewis
