Shawn Harris (D) and Clayton Fuller (R) are running in a special runoff election to represent Georgia's 14th Congressional District on April 7, 2026. Neither received a majority of votes in a special election on March 10, 2026, with Harris receiving 37.3% of the vote and Fuller 34.9%. Governor Brian Kemp (R) called the special election after former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R) resigned on January 5, 2026.[1]

According to The Cook Political Report with Amy Walter, the 14th District is the most Republican-leaning congressional district in Georgia.[2] Sixteen of the 21 candidates who appeared on the ballot were Republicans. The New York Times' Richard Fausset writes, "Fuller will have to consolidate conservatives, whose votes were cast across the range of first-round Republican candidates."[3] Fuller says he will consolidate the Republican vote, citing President Donald Trump's (R) endorsement of him: "We know that the endorsement from President Trump made a difference in [the general election] ... It’s time that the Republican vote unites and gets a representative to Capitol Hill as soon as possible."[4][5]

Harris says he will build a broad base of support: "Finally, we can break through as a coalition of Democrats and independents and Republicans."[6] The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Greg Bluestein writes, "[Harris'] campaign is betting that a message centered on kitchen-table concerns — from tariffs to foreign policy — can resonate beyond the Democratic base even in this GOP-leaning corner of Georgia."[7]

Harris is a retired U.S. Army brigadier general and cattle producer.[8] He says, "When I get to Congress, I’m going to focus on making sure people have access to healthcare that’s affordable and allows them to take care of their families. I’m also going to make sure we take care of our farmers. Right now, they’re getting hit hard from healthcare issues to struggling to find markets to sell their crops."[9] Harris also claims Fuller is more committed to Trump than to the district, saying, "We’ve seen what happens when a representative goes to Washington to serve one man. I’m running to serve all the people of Northwest Georgia."[10]

Fuller is a former district attorney for the Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit and an officer in the Air National Guard. He says, "[W]e need an American First fighter to stand strong for President Trump’s Agenda. ... I’m running to bring manufacturing back to Chatsworth, Dalton, Rome, Chickamauga, and Cedartown so our kids one day can still raise a family on one honest paycheck in the same community where their ancestors are buried."[11] Fuller also claims Harris is more committed to the Democratic Party than to the district, saying, "Don't be fooled by Shawn Harris and his 'independent' act. ... Loyalty to Democrats first, sabotage Trump at all costs."[12]

Fuller resigned from his elected position to run in the special election. Georgia is one of five states with a resign-to-run law.[2]

As of March 24, 2026, Republicans had a 217-214 majority in the U.S. House. There was one independent member and three vacancies.

As of March 31, 2026, 11 special elections have been called for the 119th Congress. From the 113th Congress to the 118th Congress, 80 special elections were held. For more data on historical congressional special elections, click here.
