Georgia's 12th congressional district is a congressional district in the U.S. state of Georgia. It is currently represented by Democrat John Barrow, though the district's boundaries have been redrawn following the 2010 census, which granted an additional congressional seat to Georgia.[2] The first election using the new district boundaries (listed below) will be the 2012 congressional elections.

The district covers portions of the eastern and southeastern parts of the state. It includes the cities of Augusta, Dublin, Douglas, and Statesboro.[3]
