Voters in Georgia's 14th Congressional District will elect a replacement for former Republican U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who resigned in January following a public rift with President Donald Trump. A crowded field of 17 candidates, including 12 Republicans and 3 Democrats, are vying for the vacant U.S. House seat in a special election on Tuesday.
Why it matters
Republicans hold a slender majority in the House, and a Democratic upset in this heavily Republican district could tighten the GOP's margin even further. The 14th District is a key battleground, with Trump carrying it by a wide margin in 2024 but the Democratic candidate performing relatively well in 2024.
The details
The special election features a crowded field of 17 candidates, including 12 Republicans and 3 Democrats. Among the Republicans are Clay Fuller, a state district attorney who has Trump's endorsement, and former state Sen. Colton Moore. The leading Democratic candidate is Shawn Harris, a retired Army brigadier general who challenged Greene in 2024 and raised the most funds for this race.
- Polls close at 7 p.m. ET on Tuesday, March 12, 2026.
- As of Friday, nearly 54,000 ballots had already been cast in the special election.
- In the 2024 general election, about 76% of votes were cast before Election Day.

The takeaway
This special election in Georgia's 14th Congressional District is a key battleground that could impact the narrow Republican majority in the House. The crowded field of candidates and high turnout from the 2024 election suggest this race will be closely watched and highly competitive.
