See also: Georgia's 12th congressional district. The 12th district included Statesboro and parts of Augusta-Richmond and Savannah.[176] The district's population was 50 percent white and 44 percent black (see Race and ethnicity in the United States); 78 percent were high school graduates and 16 percent had received a bachelor's degree or higher. Its median income was $36,643.[177] In the 2008 presidential election the district gave 54 percent of its vote to Democratic nominee Barack Obama and 45 percent to Republican nominee John McCain.

Regina Thomas, a former member of the Georgia State Senate, also sought the Democratic nomination.[179] Thomas also planned to run as a write-in candidate in the general election,[180] but in August 2010 the office of the Secretary of State of Georgia ruled that she was ineligible to do so.[181] In March 2010, John McArdle of CQ Politics wrote that the name of Michael Thurmond, the state Labor Commissioner, was "being floated by Georgia insiders" as a potential candidate in the Democratic primary;[182] however in April 2010, Thurmond announced he would run for the U.S. Senate.[183] Lester Jackson, another member of the State Senate, said in April 2010 that he would seek re-election rather than challenging Barrow for the Democratic nomination.[184]

Mike Horner, a retired U.S. Air Force officer and banker;[185] Jeanne Seaver, an activist;[186] and Carl Smith, the fire chief of Thunderbolt, also sought the Republican nomination. Wayne Mosley, a doctor and former U.S. Army lieutenant colonel, ended his campaign for the Republican nomination in October 2009.[187] McKinney and Smith advanced to the primary runoff election.[188]

Barrow raised $1,951,721 and spent $1,905,568.

In October 2010, The Cook Political Report rated the race as "likely Democratic". The same month John Fund of The Wall Street Journal included the race as one of "five races that could deliver upset victories", on grounds that the district had voted for George W. Bush in the 2004 presidential election.[195] Prior to the election FiveThirtyEights forecast gave Barrow a 100 percent chance of winning and projected that he would receive 60 percent of the vote to McKinney's 38 percent.[196] On election day Barrow was re-elected with 57 percent of the vote to McKinney's 43 percent. Barrow was again re-elected in 2012[197] and unsuccessfully sought re-election in 2014. He was succeeded by Republican Rick Allen.[198]
