Special Election to Replace Greene May Test Trump’s Grip on Georgia GOP

Northwest Georgia faces a crowded race to fill the surprise vacancy in Congress created by the sudden departure of Marjorie Taylor Greene. Greene, who represented the state’s 14th Congressional District, recently resigned from Congress following escalating disputes with President Donald Trump. 

The dispute erupted after Greene pushed for the release of Justice Department files linked to Jeffrey Epstein, causing Trump to withdraw his endorsement and call her “wacky” and a “ranting lunatic.” 

Her sudden resignation set the stage for a special general election on March 10 to fill the seat.

The race has drawn unusual attention due to the size and diversity of the field—more than 20 candidates in total—and the district’s reliably Republican lean. Early voting is already underway. 

Republican Candidates 

The Republican candidates include Star Black, Reagan Box, Beau Brown, Jared Craig, Eric Cunningham, Clay Fuller, Tom Gray, Trey Kelly, Nicky Lama, Colton Moore, Brian Stover, Megahn Strickland, Jim Tully, and Jennifer Turnipseed. 

Fuller, currently the district attorney for the Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit, said voters are “looking for someone to carry President Trump’s banner, support his agenda, and fight for him on Capitol Hill.”  

He emphasizes that he is the only candidate Trump has endorsed.

Fuller isn’t the only Republican taking a lesson from Greene’s downfall and emphasizing loyalty to Trump. 

Moore has also highlighted his past role as “Trump’s Floor Leader” during his time in the Georgia Senate and is campaigning on lowering taxes, deporting illegal immigrants, fighting for what he calls “the hard-working people of Georgia,” and being pro-Trump.

The Democrat candidates on the ballot are Jim Davis, Shawn Harris, and Jonathan Hobbs.  

Harris, a retired brigadier general and cattle producer, says his priorities include “making sure people have access to healthcare that’s affordable and allows them to take care of their families,” and supporting farmers. 

I am Democrat Shawn Harris. I am a husband, father, retired General and farmer. Today I’m announcing my candidacy to defeat Marjorie Taylor Greene. Her hate and conspiracies do not belong in Congress. Let’s end the chaos together.

Greene is the first representative of Georgia’s 14th Congressional District to resign mid-term, prompting special election procedures not often seen in the district. 

With early voting underway and more than 20 candidates competing, the election will determine not only Greene’s successor but also how much influence Trump’s endorsement carries among Republican voters in Northwest Georgia.
