Overview
- Gov. Brian Kemp scheduled the special election for Georgia’s 14th Congressional District on March 10, one day after Marjorie Taylor Greene’s resignation took effect.
- All candidates will appear on a single ballot, with a runoff set for April 7 if no one secures a majority, according to state rules outlined by officials.
- The Federal Election Commission lists 22 candidates, including Republican state Sen. Colton Moore, FEMA veteran Star Black, Democrats Shawn Harris and Clarence Blalock, and independent Rob Ruszkowski.
- Local election supervisors warn of a compressed calendar, with roughly one week of early voting and quick voter-registration updates advised.
- Greene’s departure, combined with the death of Rep. Doug LaMalfa, leaves House Republicans at 218 seats to Democrats’ 213, with the winner serving the remainder of the term before November’s elections.
