AP Decision Notes: What to Expect in Georgia's Special Congressional Election

(snip)

Three Democrats are also vying for the seat, including Shawn Harris, a retired Army brigadier general who challenged Greene in 2024. Harris eclipsed the rest of the multi-party field in fundraising as of Feb. 18, with about $4.3 million raised and about $290,000 in the bank. Fuller had the second-largest war chest, with about $238,000 in the bank. He had raised about $787,000 over the course of the campaign.

The 14th Congressional District, in the northwest corner of Georgia, borders Alabama and Tennessee. It spans 10 counties, with Paulding the most populous, followed by a portion of Cobb. It is home to the cities of Rome, Dalton, Acworth and parts of Kennesaw.

Harris received about 36% of the district vote in his 2024 bid. His best performance was in Cobb, where he received about 49%, compared with 51% for Greene. He received about 41% of the vote in Paulding County, his second-best showing.

Trump’s endorsement should be a boost for Fuller, considering Trump outperformed Greene across the district. But with the Democratic vote split among just three candidates compared with 12 for the GOP, Harris could snag one of the two runoff spots if he performs at his 2024 level.
