Georgia Schedules Special Election to Fill Marjorie Taylor Greene's Seat

Gov. Brian Kemp set a special congressional election for March 10 to fill the remainder of Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene's term after her resignation; candidates must qualify by Jan. 14.

Gov. Brian Kemp has scheduled a special congressional election for March 10 to fill the remainder of Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene's term after she resigned. Greene announced her resignation after an earlier November statement that surprised many constituents and some lawmakers. Her 14th District, which extends from Atlanta suburbs to the northwest corner of the state, has remained deeply conservative. The timing puts the special contest months before the midterm cycle and will draw attention as a measure of voters in that district. Key details: - The special election is set for March 10. - Candidates must qualify to run in the special election by Jan. 14. - If no candidate wins outright in March, a runoff would be held in April. - The primary for the general election is scheduled for May, with a possible June runoff. - Federal records show nearly two dozen people have entered the race for the November general election. - The 14th District is widely regarded as securely Republican, so the seat is unlikely to shift House control. Summary: The special election will determine who serves the remainder of Greene's term through next January and will overlap procedurally with the regular 2026 contests. Key upcoming dates are the Jan. 14 qualification deadline, the March 10 special election, and a possible April runoff, followed by the May primary for the general election.
