Republican Clay Fuller won the special election runoff for a U.S. House seat in Northwest Georgia on Tuesday, succeeding controversial former U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Fuller beat Democrat Shawn Harris by about 12 points, according to the Associated Press. Greene beat Harris by 29 points in his first run for the seat in 2024, but Fuller called Tuesday’s result a “completely dominating performance” despite the ground made up.
Fuller, a former district attorney and former National Guard member, will fill the seat for the rest of the year. There will be a separate May primary and November general election to fill the seat for the full two-year term, which starts in January 2027. Fuller, Harris and nine other candidates have already announced they are running.
