Republican Clay Fuller will represent Georgia's 14th Congressional District in Washington, D.C., for the remainder of the current term.  

Fuller won with about 56% of the vote. Democrat Shawn Harris carried 44% of the vote. The Associated Press called the race after 8 p.m.

Harris, who ran against former U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene twice, inched margins between the two parties much closer. He got just 35% of the vote against Greene in 2024. 

Fuller, a North Georgia district attorney and former White House fellow, got Trump’s endorsement in a crowded special election with over a dozen candidates in March, and the president even promoted his campaign when he visited Georgia in February.

"One thing is clear: We need an America First fighter to stand strong for Northwest Georgia," Fuller said in a March 22 debate. 

Fuller has committed to upholding Trump's agenda in Congress. 

Trump’s endorsement carries weight in the district, especially for voters like David Hale, who cast his ballot for Fuller on Tuesday. 

"He is backed by President Trump and I hope they can work together," Hale said. 

Working closely with Trump is a departure from Greene’s last few months in Congress. She resigned after publicly disagreeing with Trump over the release of documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. 

Meanwhile, Harris built more momentum this time around. Voter Linda Rhodes chose Harris, and says she wanted change in Congress.

"I prioritize having common sense, who understands the Constitution of the United States, who cares about underprivileged people who cares about education, who cares about health care for women," she said. 

National Democrats such as former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg campaigned for Harris in the district ahead of the runoff. 

Aside from attracting national endorsements, the race also attracted big national money. National Republican political action committees spent thousands of dollars on Fuller’s campaign, even though the district is considered a safe Republican seat. Harris’ campaign also received thousands of dollars in out-of-state money as well. 

Voters in the 14th could see a Fuller-Harris rematch in November. Because the special election only selected a candidate to finish out the remainder of Greene’s term, both candidates have qualified to be on their respective parties' ballot in the May 19 primary election.
