Special election set to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene in Congress
Atlanta News First ^ | Jan 6, 2026 | Tim Darnell

Gov. Brian Kemp has set a special election for Tuesday, March 10, 2026, to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene in Georgia’s 14th congressional district.

On Nov. 21, 2025, Greene - who was elected to the northwest Georgia district in 2020 and overwhelmingly re-elected since - said she was resigning over her disillusionment with the nation’s current political climate, stemming from a recent political split with President Donald Trump.

The election will decide who will fill the rest of Greene’s 2026 term.

About an hour after Kemp’s announcement, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s office announced the qualifying dates:

Monday, Jan. 12, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Tuesday, Jan. 13, 2026, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Wednesday, Jan. 14, 2026, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The qualifying fee has been set at $5,220.00.

A special runoff election, if needed, has been set for April 7, 2026.

Georgia’s nationally watched midterms in the 2026 primary is May 19, 2026, meaning whoever wins the upcoming special election — and likely runoff — may choose to run again in the primaries and, if victorious, run in November’s general election.

Wanted: A blondie (At Least a 5 on the Bo Derek scale) to take over a House seat in Georgia. Must be a liberal bimbo. Beards are okay. Remove all chest or armpit hair. Must be able to talk like a Georgian.

Doubtful; it’s an R+19 district.

She resigns late January meaning 6 weeks with no one in the seat-add 4 more in the event of a ‘likely’ runoff. One California congressman dies and a razor thin margin majority is left.

What’s the matter with these people?

Vote to expel her the day before her retirement date kicks in. A two thirds majority will be possible with 100% democrats voting to do just that. Show her we’re not messing around-won’t happen.

I wonder if she will have made any stock trades that turn a 1000% profit by the time of this special election.

One thing for sure, she will be drawing a congressional pension which she qualified for just days before the left congress, with her new husband in tow.

I believe yesterday was her last day in the House.

If she really cared about conservativism and America, she would have finished her term.

Fact #1: Zero percent chance that a Democrat wins in this district.

Fact #2: Since there are approximately 136 Republicans who will be splitting the March 10 vote, the seat will remain vacant until after the runoff election in early April because (unless the GOP gets smart and winnows the field somehow) nobody is going to reach the 50% threshold to avoid the runoff.

That runoff could be between two Republicans and zero Democrats, however the Democrats are going all-out (financially) in support of liberal retired “Brigadier General” Shawn Harris, who lost by merely 30 points to MTG in 2024. He spent over $3 million for the privilege of getting his ass stomped in that election and he’s going to do the same thing this time too.

Well let's hope the quality of candidate is a bit better than that standard...

Where was that sense of urgency when the house Republicans prematurely expelled George Santos?

Georgia State Senator Colton Moore, a Republican, announced his campaign for the U.S. House seat for Georgia’s 14th Congressional District.

He’s a much better choice than MTG ever was.

A lot of Republican names. Which ones are finalists? Which one are has-beens from the Past? Which ones are the Future?

Thanks for the heads up on Georgia Senator Colton Moore, jacknhoo.

This 3:00 minute, local Fox News story shows the "right stuff" this up and coming George House Senator is made of. Sen. Colton Moore gives update after arrest

The RINOs have a lock on the state of Georgia. Moore stood up to his State Constitution's rights as the Trump-hating Brian the unKempy Governor spoke in the chamber.

Maybe Trump can alienate a few more good conservatives.
