Republican Clay Fuller and Democrat Shawn Harris advanced to an April 7 runoff for Georgia’s 14th Congressional District. The article reports that Fuller led the Republican field and Harris set a district record for a Democratic candidate’s vote share.
After a crowded special-election field to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene, Clay Fuller and Shawn Harris advanced to a runoff. Fuller received more than three times the votes of his nearest Republican challenger, Colton Moore, while Harris received the highest vote share ever by a Democratic candidate in the district.
Fuller said he hoped to unite conservative voters, and Harris said economic pressures could make voters open to new representation. The article also reports that Moore conceded and that Lanny Thomas and John Zibulk advanced to a separate state Senate runoff. Both runoff elections were scheduled for April 7.
