The district is mostly rural and exurban in character. Like most of north Georgia, it has turned almost solidly Republican. While conservative Democrats held most local offices and state legislative seats in what is now the 14th well into the 1990s, today there are almost no elected Democrats above the county level. The Democrats have only nominated a candidate in four of the six elections since the district was created, and has only once managed as much as 30 percent of the vote.
