Overview

  • A top-two runoff will be held April 7 if no candidate secures a majority in Tuesday’s all-party special election.
  • Trump-endorsed Republican district attorney Clay Fuller is a leading contender, with Democrat Shawn Harris topping recent fundraising.
  • Seventeen candidates are active after withdrawals: 12 Republicans, three Democrats, plus a Libertarian and an independent on a single ballot.
  • Nearly 54,000 ballots were cast before Election Day, and early and absentee totals typically post first, which can give Democrats an initial lead in returns.
  • The winner will finish Greene’s term, must run again in May party contests for a full term, and a GOP hold would help preserve the party’s 218–214 House majority.
