AP Decision Notes: What to expect in Georgia's 13th Congressional District special election

Six candidates are competing in a special election on Tuesday in Georgia’s 13th Congressional District. The contest is being held to replace the late Democratic U.S. Rep. David Scott, who passed away in April.

The race takes place in a heavily Democratic district. While specific details on the candidates and the broader implications were not fully outlined, the outcome of Tuesday's special election will determine who fills the congressional seat left vacant by Representative Scott's death.
