Clay Fuller defeated Shawn Harris in a special-election runoff for Georgia’s 14th District, but he still faces a Republican primary and a November contest against Harris. The article says Fuller’s 11-point win was narrower than Marjorie Taylor Greene’s previous 20-point win over Harris.
Clay Fuller defeated Democrat Shawn Harris in Tuesday’s runoff to fill the remainder of former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s term. Fuller won by 11 points, compared with Greene’s 20-point margin over Harris in the previous election.
Fuller faces a May Republican primary that includes former state senator Colton Moore, followed by a November general election against Harris.
