Republican Clay Fuller and Democrat Shawn Harris will face each other in an April 7 runoff after neither candidate won a majority in Tuesday’s special election to replace former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene in Georgia’s 14th Congressional District.

Polls closed at 7 p.m. Tuesday, with results showing Fuller, a former district attorney, and Harris, a retired Army brigadier general and farmer, finishing with the most votes among a crowded field of candidates.

Fuller previously finished fourth in the 2020 Republican primary that Greene ultimately won. He was later appointed district attorney of the Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit in 2023 and won a full term in 2024 before stepping down to run for Congress. Fuller received support in the race from Donald Trump, who said the former White House Fellow had his “complete and total endorsement.”

Harris, a Cedartown farmer and Army veteran, previously ran against Greene in 2024. Of all the candidates in Tuesday’s race, Harris raised the most campaign funds, bringing in roughly $4.3 million and reporting about $290,000 in cash on hand as of Feb. 18. Fuller reported the second-largest fundraising total, with about $787,000 raised and roughly $238,000 remaining in his campaign account.

The seat has been vacant since January after Greene resigned following a months-long public dispute with Trump over foreign policy issues and the release of documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. A week before Greene announced her resignation, Trump said he would support a primary challenger against her.

Twenty-two candidates initially filed to run for the seat, though the field narrowed to 17 candidates on Tuesday’s ballot: 12 Republicans, three Democrats, one Libertarian, and one independent. Greene declined to endorse a candidate in the race.

Brian Kemp reacted to the runoff results on X, congratulating Fuller and urging Republicans to unite ahead of the next round of voting. “When I appointed Clay as District Attorney, I was confident that he would be a fearless advocate for the rule of law in our state,” Kemp wrote. “As we head into the runoff election, Republicans must be united and send this proven, conservative fighter to Washington.”

Whoever wins the runoff will serve the remainder of Greene’s current term, a relatively short period before the district holds its regularly scheduled elections. Candidates are also preparing for upcoming primaries for a full two-year congressional term ahead of the November general election.

Republicans are seeking to maintain control of the heavily conservative district, while Democrats hope divisions among GOP candidates could create an opening. The outcome could factor into the balance of power in the U.S. House, where Republicans currently hold a narrow majority.
