Overview
- With no majority winner in the all-party special election, Democrat Shawn Harris led with about 37.3% to Republican Clay Fuller’s 34.9%, sending both to a runoff.
- Fuller, a district attorney and Air National Guard officer, benefited from a February endorsement and rally appearance by President Trump in Rome, Georgia.
- Former state senator Colton Moore finished third with roughly 10–12%, leaving a pool of Republican voters to potentially consolidate behind Fuller in the deeply Republican district.
- Early voting for the runoff is scheduled for March 30 through April 3, and the winner will serve the remainder of Greene’s term.
- Candidates seeking a full two-year term must run again in party primaries on May 19, with a possible June 16 runoff, as the outcome also matters for the GOP’s slim 218–214 House majority.
