State Rep. Jasmine Clark won the Democratic nomination to succeed U.S. Rep. David Scott, who died last month as he sought a 13th term.

Clark, of Lilburn, won outright in a six-way primary race for the 13th Congressional District in metro Atlanta.

She will square off against Republican Jonathan Chavez in November but is heavily favored to win the solidly Democratic district.

Before his death, Scott had fallen out of favor with Democratic Party leadership amid concerns about the 80-year-old’s age and health after serving in Washington for more than two decades.

At an election night party Tuesday, Clark described the strategy that helped her avoid a runoff.

“You win elections by talking to the people. That’s what we did. We talked to the people,” she told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Crypto cash tried to tip the scale in Clark’s favor when the pro-crypto PAC, Protect Progress, poured $4.2 million into the race to support her.

She was first elected to the state house in 2018, flipping a Republican seat. Clark has opposed abortion restrictions and has helped lead protests of the state’s attempt to bar approving a new advanced placement course on African American studies.

Clark, who lost her father this month, thanked supporters and staff for stepping in while she was juggling grief and a grueling campaign schedule.”

“I am at peace knowing that my dad was super proud of me, y’all. While he’s not physically able to see this moment, I know he is here and he will be with me along this journey every step of the way.”

The district stretches around the perimeter of Atlanta’s suburbs from Gwinnett down to DeKalb, Rockdale, Newton, Henry and Clayton counties.

Scott’s was one of four open U.S. House seats in Georgia this election cycle.

In three heavily Republican districts, candidates endorsed by President Donald Trump won primaries without runoffs.

State Rep. Houston Gaines, R-Athens, secured the Republican nomination in the 10th district to replace U.S. Rep Mike Collins.

Along the Georgia coast Jim Kingston, claimed the GOP nomination in the 1st district, which had been represented by U.S. Rep. Buddy Carter.

Collins and Carter did not seek reelection and instead ran for the U.S. Senate.

In the 14th district, Trump-endorsed U.S. Rep. Clay Fuller again won the GOP nomination for a full term.

Fuller was elected last month to serve the remainder of former U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Northwest Georgia term.

Greene, once an ardent supporter of the president, resigned from Congress after she fell out of favor with Trump.

“We can’t wait to get out across the state of Georgia and keep fighting for America First patriots from across the state, because we got to keep Georgia red,” Fuller said.

Fuller will again face Democrat Shawn Harris in November.

In the 11th district, U.S. Rep. Barry Loudermilk’s decision not to seek reelection set off a scramble.

Republicans Dr. John Cowan, a neurosurgeon and business owner, and Robert Adkerson, who formerly served as Loudermilk’s campaign manager and chief of staff, advanced to a runoff.

The winner will face Democrat Chris Harden in the deep-red North Georgia district.

In the 9th District, U.S. Rep. Andrew Clyde, an incumbent Republican, handily won the GOP primary, fending off challengers former Gainesville Mayor Sam Couvillon and Hall County Commissioner Gregg Poole.
