4 unusual facts about Elliott H. Levitas


Elliott H. Levitas

He was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection to the Ninety-ninth Congress in 1984.

For four terms prior to his election, Benjamin Blackburn, a Republican, represented the area, which had a considerable population of suburban voters fleeing Atlanta's school desegregation efforts and the rise of African-American political influence.

However, redistricting in the 1980s brought more Republican voters into Levitas' territory, and he succumbed in 1984 to Pat Swindall, who was later convicted of felony perjury charges.

Levitas was elected as a Democrat to the Ninety-fourth and to the four succeeding Congresses (January 3, 1975-January 3, 1985).
