**Republican nominee John Cowan holds a strong position in Georgia’s 11th Congressional District ahead of the November 3 general election.** The open seat, created by incumbent Barry Loudermilk’s retirement, features Cowan facing Democrat Chris Harden and two independents in a district with a Republican Partisan Voter Index of R+12 and a recent history of GOP victories exceeding 65%. Race ratings from Cook, Sabato’s Crystal Ball, and others classify the contest as Solid or Safe Republican, consistent with projected margins around 20 points. Georgia’s majority-vote rule means an outright winner requires over 50% in the first round; forecasts and historical patterns support this outcome at current pricing, though one internal poll showing a statistical tie and lingering undecided voters introduce modest uncertainty about whether independents or turnout shifts could force a December runoff.
