In the two months since former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene resigned from her seat in Congress, Georgia Republicans have been going out of their way to minimize her presence in the race to replace her.
Seventeen candidates, including a dozen Republicans, are set to face off March 10 in a special election for the 14th District in Georgia’s northwest corner, making a runoff likely. The winner will serve out the remainder of Greene’s term. The seat, heavily favored toward Republicans, is pivotal to buffering the GOP’s razor-thin majority —where just a single defection can sink legislation in the House.
Local prosecutor Clay Fuller, former state legislator Colton Moore and ex-Greene staffer Jim Tully are among the more prominent GOP contenders vying to replace Greene. And while vastly outnumbered in the deep-red district, there are several Democrats in the race, including Army veteran Shawn Harris, who lost to Greene in 2024.
