Georgia's 3rd congressional district is a congressional district in the U.S. state of Georgia. The district is currently represented by Republican Drew Ferguson. The district's boundaries have been redrawn following the 2010 census, which granted an additional congressional seat to Georgia. The first election using the new district boundaries (listed below) were the 2012 congressional elections.
The district is based in west-central Georgia. It includes most of the southern suburbs of Atlanta--where most of its population is located--as well as the wealthier portions of Columbus and its northern suburbs. The district is located close to Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, and a number of airport and airline employees live there.
As of January 2017[update], there are four former members of the U.S. House of Representatives from Georgia's 3rd congressional district who are currently living at this time. The most recent representative to die was Bo Callaway (1965-1967) on March 15, 2014. The most recently serving representative to die was Richard Ray (1983-1993) on May 29, 1999.
