US Edition22 candidates enter Georgia race to succeed Marjorie Taylor Greene in Congress
The special election features 22 candidates, including 17 Republicans, competing on one ballot with a runoff April 7 if no majority winner emerges.
- Qualifying closed Wednesday, producing a 22-person all-party field for March 10, 2026, with a runoff scheduled for April 7, 2026 if no candidate wins 50% plus one.
- Former U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene resigned on Jan. 5, 2026, leaving the 14th District seat vacant as the U.S. House holds a 218-213 Republican majority.
- Seventeen Republicans and several non-GOP candidates filed to run, including 17 Republicans, three Democrats, one Libertarian and one independent, with Clay Fuller, Colton Moore and Brian Stover among them.
- Because primary qualifying occurs in the first week of March, many entrants will file for May 19, 2026 primaries before March 10, facing possible June 16 runoffs.
- Covering Catoosa, Chattooga, Dade, Floyd, Murray, Paulding, Polk, Walker, Whitfield and parts of Cobb counties, Georgia's 14th Congressional District is rated the most Republican-leaning by Cook Political Report.
