Georgia's 1st congressional district is a congressional district in the U.S. state of Georgia. It is currently represented by Republican Buddy Carter, though the district's boundaries were redrawn following the 2010 United States Census, which granted an additional congressional seat to Georgia.[5] The first election using the new district boundaries were the 2012 congressional elections.
The district comprises the entire coastal area of Sea Islands and much of the southeastern part of the state. In addition to Savannah, the district includes the cities of Brunswick, Jesup, and Waycross.
There are four military bases in the district:
- Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base, at Kings Bay in Camden County
- Fort Stewart, near Hinesville in Liberty County
- Hunter Army Airfield in Savannah
- Moody Air Force Base near Valdosta
