Republican Clay Fuller captured Georgia's 14th Congressional District seat in a special runoff election Tuesday night, preserving the Republican hold on the northwest Georgia district once represented by Marjorie Taylor Greene.

With more than 95 percent of votes counted, Fuller received 72,304 votes or 55.9 percent, while Democrat Shawn Harris garnered 57,030 votes or 44.1 percent. The Associated Press and other outlets called the race for Fuller shortly after polls closed at 7 p.m.

The election filled the vacancy left by Greene, who resigned on January 5, 2026, amid public disagreements with President Donald Trump over his handling of Epstein files and foreign policy decisions, including the ongoing war with Iran. Governor Brian Kemp called the special election, with the first round held March 10. No candidate secured a majority then, as Harris led with 37.3 percent of the vote and Fuller followed with 34.9 percent in a field of 17 candidates.

Fuller, the district attorney for the Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit since 2020 and a lieutenant colonel in the Georgia Air National Guard, earned Trump's endorsement in February. A White House fellow during the first Trump administration, he positioned himself as an "America First" fighter during the campaign. Harris, a retired Army brigadier general and cattle rancher who ran as the Democratic nominee in the district in 2024, emphasized independence from Trump influence.

The race drew national attention in the closely divided House, where Republicans hold a slim 217-214 majority with one independent. Fuller's victory ensures the GOP retains the seat through the end of the 119th Congress on January 3, 2027. He will face a primary challenge on May 19 for a full term, potentially followed by a June 16 runoff.

Campaign debates focused on the economy and the Iran conflict, with unease over the war influencing voter sentiment. Greene criticized Trump's approach on social media Tuesday, urging an end to foreign entanglements. Supporters like Jason McGinty voted for Fuller to maintain the "America First" agenda, while Harris backer Melinda Dorl sought to send a message against Trump.

The district, spanning rural counties like Catoosa, Walker and Whitfield, remains a GOP stronghold, with Trump carrying it by wide margins in recent cycles. Turnout details were not immediately available late Tuesday.
