Reagan Box, Clayton Fuller, Shawn Harris, Nicky Lama, Colton Moore and Jenna Turnipseed are all running for in the special election for Marjorie Taylor Greene's old seat.

Overview

  • Qualifying closed with 22 contenders: 17 Republicans, three Democrats, one Libertarian and one independent on a single March 10 ballot.
  • The seat covers northwest Georgia and is rated the state's most Republican-leaning district by the Cook Political Report.
  • Prominent GOP entrants include district attorney Clay Fuller and former legislator Colton Moore, with several officeholders resigning to run under state law.
  • Multiple Republicans highlight ties to President Donald Trump and MAGA themes, while Democrat Shawn Harris returns after challenging Greene in 2024 alongside other Democratic, Libertarian and independent options.
  • If no candidate wins a majority, the top two advance to an April 7 runoff; voter registration for the special closes Feb. 9 and early voting begins Feb. 16, with many hopefuls likely to compete again in the regular 2026 primaries and beyond.
