...running in the primary, but John Lewis endorsed him. Ballotpedia.org rates the district safe Repub, but I point you to what happened in CT in a district that's been Repub since 1891 (not a typo.)

The 6th Congressional District of Georgia will hold a special election for the U.S. House of Representatives on April 18, 2017.
Heading into the election, Ballotpedia rates this race as safely Republican. The election will replace Tom Price (R), who was confirmed as U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services.[1] Eighteen candidates filed to run in the race. They are as follows: Judson Hill (R), Mohammad Ali Bhuiyan (R), Bob Gray (R), Dan Moody (R), Karen Handel (R), Bruce LeVell (R), David Abroms (R), Keith Grawert (R), Amy Kremer (R), William Llop (R), Kurt Wilson (R), Ron Slotin (D), Jon Ossoff (D), Ragin Edwards (D), Richard Keatley (D), Rebecca Quigg (D), Alexander Hernandez (I), and Andre Pollard (I). All candidates will compete in the same election on April 18, 2017. If no candidate receives at least 50 percent of the vote, the top two, regardless of party affiliation, will advance to the runoff election on June 20.[2][3]
