Voters in Georgia's 14th Congressional District are choosing a successor for former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who resigned from Congress after a falling out with former President Donald Trump. The race features a crowded field of 12 Republicans, 3 Democrats, a Libertarian, and an independent, with the winner serving out the remainder of Greene's term. However, if they want to remain in Congress beyond next January, they will have to run again.
Why it matters
The outcome of this special election could impact the balance of power in the House of Representatives, as Republicans currently hold a narrow majority. The winner will also have to navigate the district's strong Republican lean and the potential for a longer campaign to secure a full two-year term.
The details
The top candidates include Republicans Clay Fuller and Colton Moore, as well as Democrat Shawn Harris. Fuller, who is endorsed by Trump, is hoping to avoid an April 7 runoff by winning a majority of votes. However, with the crowded field, that may be difficult. The winner will serve out the remaining months of Greene's term, but will have to run again in the May 19 party primaries and possibly a June 16 runoff before the November general election for a full two-year term.
- The special election is being held on March 10, 2026.
- The winner will serve out the remaining months of Greene's term, which ends in January 2027.
- The May 19 party primaries and possible June 16 runoff will determine the candidates for the November general election for a full two-year term.
The players
Marjorie Taylor Greene
Former U.S. Representative for Georgia's 14th Congressional District, who resigned from Congress after a falling out with former President Donald Trump.
Clay Fuller
Republican candidate endorsed by former President Donald Trump, who is hoping to avoid an April 7 runoff by winning a majority of votes in the special election.
Colton Moore
Republican candidate and former state senator, who is a favorite of far-right activists and drew attention for a vociferous attack on Trump's prosecution in Georgia for alleged election interference.
Shawn Harris
Democratic candidate, a cattle farmer and retired general, who promises moderation and a focus on the district's problems.
What they’re saying
“We need to win this thing on March 10 and send an America First warrior to fight for President Trump.”
— Clay Fuller (Rome, Georgia rally)
What’s next
The winner of the March 10 special election will serve out the remaining months of Marjorie Taylor Greene's term. However, if they want to remain in Congress beyond next January, they will have to run again in the May 19 party primaries and possibly a June 16 runoff before the November general election for a full two-year term.
The takeaway
This special election in Georgia's 14th Congressional District will be an important test for the Republican Party, as they look to maintain their narrow majority in the House of Representatives. The crowded field and the district's strong Republican lean make the outcome difficult to predict, but the winner will have to navigate a potential marathon of elections to secure a full two-year term.
