Clay Fuller won the runoff against Democrat Shawn Harris to fill the Georgia House seat left vacant by Marjorie Taylor Greene. Unofficial results showed Fuller with nearly 56% of the vote, and the win restores a Republican to the district.
The Associated Press called the runoff for Fuller at 8:23 p.m. Tuesday. Unofficial results reported by Georgia’s Secretary of State showed him with nearly 56% of the vote and a lead of about 10 percentage points. Fuller credited Donald Trump, who endorsed and campaigned for him. Harris conceded while pointing to his campaign’s performance and potential gains for Democrats in future elections.
The seat had been vacant since Greene stepped down in January. Fuller’s election returns a Republican to the northwest Georgia district and gives House Speaker Mike Johnson some additional breathing room, the article says.
