John Barrow (American politician)

American politician (born 1955)

John Jenkins Barrow (born October 31, 1955) is an American politician who was the U.S. representative for Georgia's 12th congressional district from 2005 to 2015. He is a member of the Democratic Party.

Described as "extraordinarily crafty and unquestionably persistent on the stump," Barrow survived several tough reelection bids in an increasingly Republican district.[1] GOP legislators repeatedly redrew Barrow's district with the explicit intention of complicating his path to reelection, twice forcing him to move to remain within the boundaries of his district.[2] In 2014, Barrow was defeated by Republican Rick Allen in one of that cycle's most closely-watched contests.[3]

Barrow was the Democratic nominee for Georgia Secretary of State in 2018, losing to Republican Brad Raffensperger.[4] In 2024, Barrow ran for a seat on the Supreme Court of Georgia, losing to sitting Justice Andrew Pinson.[5]
