Republican candidate Mary Mattingly Fuller won the special election for Georgia's 14th Congressional District on April 1, 2026, securing the seat previously held by Marjorie Taylor Greene, who vacated it after an unsuccessful run for the U.S. Senate in 2026.
Fuller defeated her opponents in the runoff election, continuing Republican dominance in the northwest Georgia district, which has been a reliably conservative stronghold. The district covers the Rome and Dalton areas of Georgia.
Marjorie Taylor Greene had represented the district since 2021 but chose not to seek re-election to the House, instead launching a Senate bid. Her departure triggered the special election process that ultimately resulted in Fuller's victory.
Fuller's win ensures the seat remains in Republican hands ahead of the remainder of the 119th Congress. She is expected to be sworn in shortly after the certification of the election results.
