District 14 of the Georgia Senate is a district in northern Metro Atlanta.
Located entirely within Fulton County, the district includes portions of Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Roswell, and Sandy Springs, as well as a small part of northeast Atlanta. The district is home to the headquarters of several major corporations, including Newell Brands, United Parcel Service, Veritiv, and WestRock.
The 14th district was historically located in southwestern Georgia. From 1963 to 1967, it was represented by Jimmy Carter. Carter was elected as a political newcomer, and would later go on to serve as governor of Georgia and president of the United States. Population shifts within Georgia eventually led the 14th district to be moved to the northern suburbs of Atlanta, where it remains today. Since 2023, it has been represented by Democrat Josh McLaurin. President Joe Biden carried the district by 20 points over Donald Trump in 2020, making it one of the few white-majority seats in the state to support Biden.
The current senator is Josh McLaurin, a Democrat from Sandy Springs first elected in 2022.
