Judson Hill was a special election candidate who sought election to Georgia's 6th Congressional District.[1] Hill was defeated in the April 18 election. Hill was the first Republican to jump into the special election race, announcing his candidacy on November 30, 2016. He stated in his announcement, "I am asking for the votes of the citizens of the 6th Congressional District because I want to serve them as a conservative reformer. I am running for Congress with a record of standing firm on principles of liberty, limited government and fiscal responsibility."[2]

In an interview with Ballotpedia, when asked what set him apart from the other Republicans running in the race, Hill said, "There’s no time to train a congressman. You’ve got to find someone who can quickly jump into it full-speed ahead."

Hill is a former Republican member of the Georgia State Senate, representing District 32 from 2005 to 2017. He resigned from office in February 2017 in order to run for Congress.

Republican Karen Handel defeated Democrat Jon Ossoff in the June 20, 2017, special election runoff to represent the 6th Congressional District of Georgia.

It was the most expensive U.S. House race in history. The two campaigns, along with outside organizations, spent more than $50 million on the election.[4] Although Handel held the advantage with outside groups spending money on the race, the Democratic effort to flip this congressional seat, which has been held by a Republican since 1979, began early. Ossoff raised $8.3 million in the first quarter of 2017, where recent Democratic candidates raised no more than $45,000 in the general election. In April and May, Ossoff raised an additional $15 million.[5] Handel raised $4 million, relying on national political figures like President Donald Trump in May and Vice President Mike Pence in June to helm fundraisers.[6] Although Handel's fundraising paled in comparison to Ossoff's, she outraised recent Republican candidates by more than $2 million.

Tom Perez, the chair of the Democratic National Committee, said that his party's investment in the race was part of a larger effort to improve party infrastructure across the country. "We're investing heavily here in the Georgia six race, but I'm traveling across the country. We're building strong parties everywhere. That's what we have to do because that's where we fell short in the past. We allowed our basic infrastructure to, you know, to atrophy and we have to build strong parties," he said.[7] This spending was driven primarily by out-of-state contributions, which Handel and conservative outside organizations highlighted in critical campaign ads.

This special election was one of the first chances since 2016 for the Democratic Party to reduce the Republican House majority. When asked about the importance of the race, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich (R), who represented the district for two decades, told Ballotpedia, "I do think Republicans have to pay attention, and I think it would be a big mistake to allow this district to go to Ossoff, partly because of the psychology nationally, and partly because once a relatively talented person gets in office, it’s really hard to get rid of them."

The Democratic Party had not held Georgia's 6th District since before Gingrich's first election in 1978. However, Trump's victory margin of 1.5 percent over Hillary Clinton in the district in the 2016 presidential race signified that the district could be competitive. Comparatively, Mitt Romney (R) won the district by a margin of 23.3 percent in 2012, and John McCain (R) defeated Barack Obama (D) by 18 percent in 2008.[8][9] Republicans suggested that Ossoff's failure to win in the district, despite an infusion of cash, was evidence that Democrats would not have electoral success in 2018.

Ossoff was a first-time candidate who previously worked in D.C. as a legislative aide to Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) for five years and as a documentary producer. Ossoff campaigned against Trump's policies and emphasized small business growth, affordable healthcare, preserving Medicare and Medicaid, and national security. He was characterized as more of a centrist than a progressive by New York Magazine, The Washington Post, National Review, and The New York Times.[10] Handel, who served as the Georgia Secretary of State from 2007 to 2010, supported the Trump administration's position on healthcare and the withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement, although she rarely mentioned the president by name while campaigning.[11] She instead focused on promoting conservative principles and economic issues such as improving the tax code for small businesses.

This was the fourth congressional special election of the year and the third won by a Republican.

Heading into the April 18 election, Hill was one of four Republican front-runners in the race. He was defeated by Jon Ossoff (D) and Karen Handel (R). Among those who endorsed Hill are former Speaker of the House and 6th District Rep. Newt Gingrich and Sen. Marco Rubio. Hill most frequently ranked fourth in polling, behind Ossoff, Karen Handel (R), and Bob Gray (R). Hill released his first quarter fundraising figures prior to the FEC deadline, reporting $473,000 in donations with $113,000 remaining cash on hand. Hill resigned from his position as a member of the Georgia State Senate in order to run in this election. He represented Georgia's 32nd Senate District from 2005 until his resignation in 2017.

Resign-to-run

Georgia is one of five states with resign-to-run legislation. These laws require officeholders to resign from their current office in order to run for another. As a result, Hill was required to resign from the Georgia State Senate in order to run in the congressional special election. The below maps compare the boundaries of Georgia's 6th Congressional District with the boundaries of Georgia's 32nd State Senate District, which Hill previously represented.

Endorsements

  • Former Speaker of the House and 6th District Rep. from 1979 to 1999 Newt Gingrich - "I am eager to support my long-time friend, Senator Judson Hill. I’ve seen Judson work every day to pass common sense tax cuts and healthcare legislation that helps every Georgian. That’s the kind of proven conservative leadership Georgia needs. Judson will immediately get to work and bring his effective leadership to Washington representing the people of #Georgia’s 6th District."[12]
  • Co-founder of Home Depot Bernie Marcus announced his support on March 31, 2017. "America's job creators, particularly small businesses, need relief from healthcare mandates, relief from high taxes and relief from overregulation. Judson Hill has demonstrated he can bring thoughtful and determined leadership on these pressing issues," Marcus said.[13]
  • FRC Action PAC, self-described as the legislative affiliate of the Family Research Council, announced its support for Hill on January 5, 2017. Executive Vice President, Lt. General (Ret.) Jerry Boykin - “In this time of opportunity our nation has made it clear it is looking for leaders who are committed to addressing important issues head-on. We have evaluated Sen. Hill’s record as a leader and State Senator serving the people of Georgia and have found his support for bold conservative solutions to be both consistent and persistent. We believe Judson Hill will continue to be such a leader in the United States Congress." [14]
  • Sen. Marco Rubio - "Judson Hill is the only conservative Republican in this race who can win – and he’s a proven leader who can help us get our nation back on the right track after eight years of the Obama administration. We have enough talkers up here in Washington. We need doers, and Judson Hill is a doer."[15]

Fundraising

Heading into the election, Jon Ossoff (D) led the field in fundraising by a substantial margin, raising over $8.3 million. Over $5.6 million of that sum was from individual donations of less than $200, which means that detailed information about those donors is unavailable as the FEC does not require donations of less than $200 to be itemized. Of the remaining money, nearly 25 percent came from in-state. Roughly 20 percent came from California, 16 percent from New York, 6 percent from Massachusetts, and 3 percent from Illinois. Dan Moody (R) raised over $2 million, 95 percent of which was self-funded. Bob Gray's (R) contributions totaled $717,500, and he loaned his campaign $500,000. Nearly 60 percent of the remaining money he raised came from Georgia. Judson Hill (R) and Karen Handel (R) raised $523,032 and $463,744, respectively. Hill raised roughly 85 percent of his money from inside the state, while Handel received nearly 90 percent of her donations from within Georgia.[16][17][18]

Campaign themes

2017

The following issues were listed on Hill's campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

  • Repeal & Replace Obamacare: Judson has become a recognized national leader with his work creating conservative healthcare solutions that put patients first, addresses pre-existing health conditions, and expands choices and access to healthcare providers during his time in the Senate. His top priority in Congress will be immediately replacing Obamacare with affordable healthcare solutions that work.
  • Balance The Budget: The federal government spends too much, taxes too much, and wastes too much. Our nation’s mounting debt is the single greatest threat to America’s future. That’s why Judson will fight for a Balanced Budget Amendment to the U.S. Constitution to stop Washington’s out-of-control spending.
  • Keep America Safe: We must reestablish our focus on funding our national defense and security, and stand up to ISIS and extremists who threaten America. Judson is committed to ensuring that the men and women in uniform have all the tools necessary to do their jobs both at home and abroad, because restoring America’s leadership position in the world is an absolute priority.
  • Safeguard Our 2nd Amendment Rights: Judson has always been a fierce advocate for the rights of Georgia gun owners. For his record in the state legislature, he’s consistently earned an “A+” rating from the National Rifle Association. In Washington, Judson will stand up to protect our 2nd Amendment rights.
  • Protect Life: Protecting the sanctity of life is something Judson takes very seriously. That is why he is proud of his 100% rating from National Right to Life and the endorsement of Georgia Right to Life for his record in the State Senate. We can always count on Judson to be a strong voice for the unborn.

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Georgia

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
