Northwest Georgia voters sound off on race to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene

Voters are having their say in the race to replace former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, who stepped down from Congress in January after a public feud with President Donald Trump.

Early voting started last week, and the final day to cast a ballot is March 10. If no candidate secures more than 50% of the vote, a runoff is scheduled for April 7 – and that is seen as the likely scenario. After several candidates dropped out, 18 remain in the race to represent the conservative 14th Congressional District in northwest Georgia.

The Cook Political Report calls the 14th District the most Republican-leaning district in Georgia, and the GOP side of the race is hopping with a dozen candidates hoping to join Congress. Greene won re-election in 2024 with 64% of the vote even after the district was redrawn to include more likely Democratic voters. House Republicans are likely eager to welcome a new member to help boost their narrow majority.
