Georgia's 14th congressional district was created following the 2010 Census, when Georgia gained a 14th seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. The district is represented by Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene.

The district is in Northwest Georgia and includes the cities of Rome, Calhoun and Dalton. The congressional district includes the following counties in northwest Georgia:[4]

Catoosa County
Chattooga County
Dade County
Floyd County
Gordon County
Haralson County
Murray County
Paulding County
Pickens County (Partial, see also 9th district)
Polk County
Walker County
Whitfield County

The three northernmost counties in the district are part of the Chattanooga, Tennessee metropolitan area and television market, with the central and southern portions reckoned as exurbs of Atlanta.

The district leans heavily Republican. Donald Trump carried the district with over 75 percent of the vote in 2016, his eighth-best showing in the nation. With a Cook Partisan Voting Index of R+27, on paper it is the 10th most Republican district in the nation. Among Georgia's congressional districts, only the neighboring 9th district is more Republican. Since its creation, no Democrat has managed as much as 30 percent of the vote.
