Georgia Voters Choose Successor for Marjorie Taylor Greene

The winner will serve out the remaining months of Greene's term, but must run again for a full two-year term.

Published on Mar. 10, 2026

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.
