Clay Fuller Sworn in to Replace Marjorie Taylor Greene in Congress

Republican Clay Fuller officially became a member of Congress on Tuesday, taking over the Georgia seat previously held by Marjorie Taylor Greene. Fuller won a special election runoff on April 7 with backing from President Trump.

Greene, once a strong Trump ally, resigned from Congress earlier this year after breaking with the former president. Her departure created an open seat that both parties wanted to control.

Fuller previously served as district attorney for the Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit, which covers four Georgia counties including Catoosa, Chattooga, Dade and Walker. His legal background and Trump endorsement helped him defeat his opponent in the runoff election.

The win is important for Republicans because they hold only a slim majority in the House. Every seat matters when it comes to passing bills or blocking the other party's proposals. Fuller's victory means Republicans avoided an upset that could have made their job harder.

Fuller will serve out the remaining months of Greene's original term, which ends in January 2027.
