GA-14: 22 candidates enter Georgia race to succeed Marjorie Taylor Greene in Congress

ATLANTA (AP) — A district attorney, a state senator and a trash-hauling entrepreneur are among the 22 candidates bidding to succeed former U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene in a Georgia congressional seat.

A total of 17 Republicans filed to run for the seat by the time qualifying closed Wednesday, as did three Democrats, a Libertarian and an independent.

Candidates will run on the same all-party ballot on March 10. If no one wins a majority, the top two finishers will go to a runoff four weeks later on April 7.

Greene resigned from Congress earlier this month following a tumultuous five years.

All running on 1 ballot with a run-off a month later between the top 2 vote getters. With so many Republicans, there's a good chance that at least 1 Democrat will advance to the run-off. It will be interesting to see if any Republican or Republicans can separate themselves from the pack.
