Overview
Governor Brian Kemp announced a March 10 all-party special election to fill Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s vacant 14th Congressional District seat; a runoff is set for April 7 if needed.
Approximately 24 candidates have registered, with more than 20 Republicans—including Clayton Fuller, Colton Moore and Brian Stover—entered or considering bids in the northwest Georgia district.
Greene resigned in November after President Trump withdrew his endorsement, ending their alliance; her departure and Rep. LaMalfa’s death left Republicans with a narrow 218-213 House majority.
Democrats Shawn Harris, who lost to Greene in 2024, and Clarence Blalock, a former labor-commissioner candidate, entered the contest, though the district heavily favored Republicans.
The 14th District voted for Trump by 32 points in 2024; the special-election winner will complete Greene’s term and appear on the November midterm ballot.
