John Jenkins Barrow (born October 31, 1955) is an American politician who was the U.S. representative for Georgia's 12th congressional district from 2005 to 2015. He is a member of the Democratic Party.
Described as "extraordinarily crafty and unquestionably persistent on the stump," Barrow survived several tough reelection bids in an increasingly Republican district.[1] GOP legislators repeatedly redrew Barrow's district with the explicit intention of complicating his path to reelection, twice forcing him to move to remain within the boundaries of his district.[2] In 2014, Barrow was defeated by Republican Rick Allen in one of that cycle's most closely-watched contests.[3]
Barrow was the Democratic nominee for Georgia Secretary of State in 2018, losing to Republican Brad Raffensperger.[4] In 2024, Barrow ran for a seat on the Supreme Court of Georgia, losing to sitting Justice Andrew Pinson.[5]
