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.  THANK YOU, Mr. President.This is the honor of a lifetime. I will not let you or Georgia’s 14th District down.Our work to put America first is just getting started! pic.twitter.com/YjBsu2v0Rm— Clay Fuller (@Clay4MainStreet) February 5, 2026 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.  ?I AM OFFICIALLY RUNNING FOR CONGRESS IN GEORGIA'S 14TH DISTRICT!The time for action is now!100% Pro-Trump100% Pro-Life100% Pro-GunDeport all illegalsCheap gas and groceriesJOIN TEAM MOORE: https://t.co/jgtK3rpzJV?????? pic.twitter.com/vNoaYXvmB9— Sen.

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.
