Represented by Jack Kingston. John Heddens Jack Kingston (born April 24, 1955), American politician, has been a Republican member of the United States House of Representatives since 1993, representing the 1st District of Georgia, based in the southeastern part of the state (map). ...

The 1st District comprises the entire coastal area of Sea Islands, where many of the large cotton and rice plantations flourished in the nineteenth century, and much of the rural southeastern part of the state. This section of the South was solidly Democratic country for many years after General Sherman’s troops marched through Georgia, but voters here are conservative on cultural, military, and economic issues. In addition to Savannah, the district includes a few modest-sized towns such as Warner Robins, Brunswick, Waycross, and Valdosta. However, much of the district is rural, with cotton and tobacco fields. There are five military bases in the district: Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base, at Kings Bay in Camden County, Fort Stewart, near Hinesville in Liberty County, Hunter Army Airfield in Savannah, Robins Air Force Base in Warner Robins, and Moody Air Force Base near Valdosta. The Sea Islands are an archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean. ...
