Twenty‑Two Candidates File to Succeed Marjorie Taylor Greene in Georgia’s 14th District
Georgia’s 14th Congressional District will see a crowded all‑party primary on March 10, 2026, with 22 candidates vying to replace former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who resigned earlier this month after a turbulent five years in Congress. According to state filings that closed Jan. 15, the field includes 17 Republicans, three Democrats, one Libertarian and one independent, all on the same ballot in what the Cook Political Report rates as Georgia’s most Republican‑leaning district. Prominent GOP contenders include former district attorney Clay Fuller of Trenton, former state representative and senator Colton Moore of Trenton, Dalton City Council member Nicky Lama, and trash‑hauling company owner and ex‑Paulding County commissioner Brian Stover, who is already on television and may self‑fund. Several long‑time party activists and past Greene allies, such as former district GOP chair and Greene field representative Jim Tully and former Fulton County GOP chair Trey Kelly, have also entered, alongside a long tail of lesser‑known Republicans and candidates from other parties. If no candidate wins a majority, the top two finishers—regardless of party—will advance to an April 7 runoff, setting up a potentially fractious battle over whether the district continues Greene’s brand of hard‑right politics or shifts to a different style of Republican representation.
