Former member of Congress · last served 113th Congress
Jack Kingston
Jack Kingston was a Republican U.S. representative from Georgia, first elected to Congress in 1993, who voted with most Republicans on 92% of the 112th Congress’s yes/no votes.
How we count: “Broke with party” is a yes/no roll call where the member voted against most of their own party on that vote (party as recorded; even splits not counted). “Pork: own share” splits each earmark shared by several members evenly among them.

Source: MIT Election Data and Science Lab, U.S. House V15 / U.S. Senate V8 (CC0), retrieved 2026-10-18; winners matched to member records by seat and term. Results run through the 2024 elections; nothing from 2026 is shown until it is certified. A margin is a fact about one election, never a score of how well a member represents anyone, and PORKER does not rank members by it.
How has Georgia’s 1st district done while Rep. Kingston served?
2007 to 2011 in GA-1: typical household income was down 13% after inflation, the share of people below the poverty line was up 5.4 points, and the share of workers looking for a job was up 6.1 points.
Each mini chart has its own scale, fitted to its lines (it does not start at zero), so compare the numbers, not the heights. Teal = district, oxblood = state, grey = U.S.
While they served, not because of them. This shows what happened in Georgia’s 1st district during Kingston’s time representing it (1993 to 2015). It does not say what the member did or caused. It is not a score, and PORKER never ranks members on it.
Only one set of district lines is shown. GA-1 was redrawn in 2007, 2012 and again in 2022, and a redrawn district is a different place. So this card shows only the longest stretch on the same lines during the term, 2007 to 2011 (no 2020 yearly estimate), not the full 1993 to 2015.

Read this first. These are counts of records Congress.gov lists. Many bills never get a CBO estimate or a report, so a zero is not a mark against a member. We never show this as a score.
