The election became necessary after President Trump appointed the incumbent, Alpharetta Republican Brandon Beach, to be U.S. Treasurer. In a non-partisan primary held in August, Debra Shigley—the lone Democratic candidate—garnered the most votes and will face a Republican opponent on September 23. Shigley is an Alpharetta mom, attorney and small business owner. She said in a statement, "My team and I are more than ready to continue this historic momentum. I am very proud of the campaign we have run so far, and it is clear that our vision — for an affordable, healthy, educated Georgia where working families can thrive — is resonating with our neighbors.”

Democrats hope Shigley’s unexpected showing in a deep-red district where Beach received upwards of 70% of the vote against a Democratic challenger in 2024  signals that Trump’s forces are losing steam. A Shigley victory would reinforce Democratic optimism about gains in 2026.
