22 candidates enter Georgia race to succeed Marjorie Taylor Greene in Congress
January 14, 2026
A district attorney, a state senator and a trash-hauling entrepreneur are among the 22 candidates bidding to succeed former U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene in a Georgia congressional seat. A total of 17 Republicans filed to run for the seat by the time qualifying closed Wednesday, as did three Democrats, a Libertarian and an independent. Candidates will run on the same all-party ballot on March 10. If no one wins a majority, the top two finishers will go to a runoff four weeks later on April 7. Greene resigned from Congress earlier this month following a tumultuous five years.
