President Trump said Wednesday that he is endorsing Clay Fuller in a special election for former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) seat in Georgia’s 14th congressional district.
“As District Attorney for the Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit, and Air National Guard Officer, Clay knows the Wisdom and Courage required to Defend our Country, Support our Brave Military/Veterans, and Ensure PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post, offering Fuller his “Complete and Total” endorsement.
“As your next Congressman, Clay will fight tirelessly to Grow the Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Promote MADE IN THE U.S.A., Unleash American Energy DOMINANCE, Keep our Border SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, Safeguard our Elections, Champion School Choice, and Defend our always under siege Second Amendment,” he continued.
Fuller is one of 21 candidates seeking to succeed Greene, who left Congress early amid a public spat with Trump. He came in fourth in the 2020 Republican primary that Greene won on her way to a first term in office.
The district attorney’s priorities, as laid out on his campaign website, align strongly with Trump’s domestic agenda, from calling for mass deportations to pledging to “use his legal skills to fight back against the radical left.”
Fuller is already coalescing support among Republicans, who are eager defeat the expected Democratic front-runner, Shawn Harris, and help the GOP retain its razor-thin margin in the House. The Chattanooga Times Free Press reported on Feb. 1 that candidate Christian Hurd threw his support behind Fuller after dropping out of the race.
Voters in the Peach State will head to the polls on March 10 to cast their ballots in the special election, with a runoff held on April 7, if needed.
All candidates will be listed under one ballot regardless of party affiliation. The top two-vote getters will advance to a runoff if no candidate reaches the 50 percent threshold required to win outright.
The district, which stretches from Atlanta’s northwest suburbs to the Tennessee state line, is rated by the nonpartisan Cook Political Report as solidly Republican.
