Republican Clay Fuller wins special election to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene
Republicans held onto former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s House seat on Tuesday.
Republican Clay Fuller defeated Democrat Shawn Harris in a special runoff election in the state’s 14th Congressional District, giving the GOP another vote for their narrow House majority.
The northwest Georgia district is the reddest House seat in the Peach State, and Democrats never had a serious chance of flipping the seat.
But Republicans took no chances. GOP-aligned outside groups, combined with Fuller’s campaign, spent more than $1.2 million on the runoff, according to AdImpact, while Harris didn’t receive any air support from national Democratic groups and spent just $300,000. In the short term, Fuller’s win is a boon for Speaker Mike Johnson, who will gain a safe vote for the GOP caucus.
Fuller, who had Trump’s endorsement, came in second behind Harris in March’s first round of voting, but that was in large part due to a crowded GOP field that split votes.
