Georgia’s 14th Draws 22 Candidates for March 10 Special Election

The all-party vote will test GOP factional strength in a district rated safely Republican.

Overview

  • Qualifying closed with 22 contenders: 17 Republicans, three Democrats, one Libertarian and one independent, according to the Georgia Secretary of State.
  • All candidates will appear on one ballot on March 10, with an April 7 runoff if no one secures a majority.
  • The Republican field features state Sen. Colton Moore, former district attorney Clay Fuller, former Paulding County commissioner Brian Stover and former Dalton City Council member Nicky Lama.
  • Georgia law required Fuller, Lama and Moore to resign their offices to run for Congress.
  • Federal Election Commission filings show Democrat Shawn Harris leading fundraising, and Trump has not endorsed a candidate.
