ATLANTA - Georgia's newest congressional district will be based in the northeast corner of the state.
The proposed congressional map unveiled by state lawmakers on Monday also redrew political boundaries for the 13 existing U.S. House districts.
It showed the new U.S. House district will cover Hall County home to Gov. Nathan Deal.
The state earned a new House seat because of its growing population, which has been steepest in north Georgia.
U.S. Rep. John Barrow, the last remaining white Democrat in the House from the Deep South, will see his district shift dramatically. Barrow is based in Savannah, which would no longer be in his district under the proposed map.
