Republican House candidate Brian Stover launched his first ad in the race to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene. The ad presents him as a pro-Trump businessman and promises to defend ICE agents and lower costs.
Brian Stover, a Republican businessman and former Paulding County commissioner, launched his first ad in the crowded race for Georgia’s 14th Congressional District. In the ad, he says he is running to help President Trump, defend ICE agents and bring costs down; a narrator describes him as a “Christian. Conservative. Pro-Trump Republican.”
Other candidates named in the race include Jim Tully, state Sen. Colton Moore, Star Black and Clayton Fuller. Greene is set to resign Monday. Georgia’s governor must call a special election within 10 days of her resignation; candidates will appear on one ballot, with a runoff if no one wins more than half the vote.
