No matter what happens Tuesday, Republican voters in northwest Georgia have not seen the last of Clay Fuller.
The former district attorney faces Democrat Shawn Harris in a special runoff to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene in a congressional district that President Donald Trump has dominated. But Fuller will also be on the ballot next month, this time in a Republican primary for a full term as the state’s representative of the 14th Congressional District.
