The district, which was once represented by former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, includes many of Atlanta's affluent northern suburbs, such as Alpharetta, Roswell, Johns Creek, Dunwoody, Sandy Springs, Brookhaven and part of Marietta. Her son Jordan Davis was shot and killed in November 2012. A member of the Democratic Party, McBath defeated incumbent Republican Karen Handel in the November 2018 election. Early life and careerMcBath was born in Joliet, Illinois, U.S., on June 1, 1960.[1][2] Her father, Lucien Holman, was a dentist who owned The Black Voice, an African-American newspaper, and served as president of the NAACP's Illinois chapter. Her mother, Wilma, worked as a nurse. Lucy has a sister, Lori.[2] McBath attended Virginia State University and graduated with a bachelor's degree in political science in 1982.[4] After college, McBath worked as an intern for Douglas Wilder.[3] In the 1990s, she became a flight attendant for Delta Air Lines, and relocated to Atlanta, where Delta is headquartered.[2] Political activismIn 2012, McBath's 17-year-old son, Jordan Davis, was shot and killed following an argument at a gas station about loud music. Following his death, she joined Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America as a national spokeswoman. She attended a speech on gun violence at the White House given by President Barack Obama,[7] and supported the My Brother's Keeper Challenge.[4] She appeared in a 2015 documentary film, 3 1/2 Minutes, 10 Bullets, that explored the shooting.[5] Joining the Mothers of the Movement, McBath traveled around the United States to campaign for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election,[6] and spoke on her behalf at the 2016 Democratic National Convention.[7][8] She continued her advocacy by helping defeat legislation in the Florida Legislature that would expand campus carry and created a foundation, Champion In The Making Legacy, to help high school graduates continue their education and training.[9] U.S. House of Representatives{{Main|United States House of Representatives elections in Georgia, 2018#District 6}}While a variety of factors contributed to McBath's decision to run for office, she credits a breakfast meeting with State Representative Renitta Shannon, who urged her to run, with convincing her.[10] After initially planning to run for the Georgia House of Representatives against incumbent Republican Sam Teasley in the 2018 elections, she decided after the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting to instead challenge Karen Handel, the incumbent Republican in the United States House of Representatives representing {{ushr|GA|6}}.[11][12][13][14] Although the 6th has historically tilted Republican, Handel was thought to be vulnerable. Donald Trump barely carried the district in 2016, and Handel won a hotly contested special election in 2017. In the Democratic Party primary election on May 22, McBath led all challengers with an unofficial count of 36% of the vote. She faced Kevin Abel, the second place finisher, in a runoff election on July 24.[15] She defeated Abel with 53.7 percent of the vote.[16] She faced Handel in the general election in November and declared victory with 159,268 votes, surpassing Handel's 156,396 with 100% of precincts reporting.[17][16] She became the first Democrat to represent this district since it moved to Atlanta's northern suburbs in 1993.

Political positionsHealth careMcBath supports the Affordable Care Act. She would like to expand Medicaid in Georgia and would lower the age of Medicare eligibility to 55.[18] She supports Planned Parenthood and has said she supports funding programs that give women autonomy over their reproductive decisions.[18] EconomyMcBath is critical of some of the 2017 Republican tax cuts, but she would like to make the temporary middle-class tax cuts permanent.[18] GunsMcBath initially decided to run for Congress because she believed the government was not doing enough to prevent gun violence. She advocates for universal background checks before purchasing a firearm, and would like to create "red flag" laws to keep guns out of the hands of people who are strongly at risk of becoming violent.[18] Personal lifeMcBath lives in Marietta, Georgia. She has survived two bouts of breast cancer.[19] She is married to Curtis McBath.[20] In addition to her son Jordan, who was murdered in 2012, she had a son who died in 1993.[19] See also
