The race to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene in Congress is on.
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp authorized a special election to select a candidate to fill the remainder of the former MAGA acolyte’s term following her official resignation from the House late Monday night. Kemp’s office posted the signed writ of election to his office’s website, setting the contest for March 10.
Nearly two dozen candidates are already looking to run for the vacated northwest Georgia seat according to Federal Elections Commission filings — and almost all are Republicans hoping to represent the deeply conservative district.
The race sets up a potential test of what kind of candidate Republicans prefer in the deep-red district, following Greene’s controversial tenure in Congress.
