NEW: Staunch MAGA Lawmaker Announces Bid To Replace MTG

Georgia State Senator Colton Moore announced Monday that he was jumping into the race to replace U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who is set to resign from the House in early January.

“Today I’m entering the race for Georgia’s 14th congressional district because President Trump needs a fighter in Congress who will never flinch and never sell out,” Moore said in a statement shared with Breitbart News.  The Georgia lawmaker will be entering a somewhat crowded Republican field in the Peach State’s 14th Congressional District, which currently holds a lean of R+19 on the Cook Partisan Voting Index.

Moore gained national recognition in 2023,  when he led the effort to impeach Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis over her now-discarded case against President Donald Trump and several prominent allies. “The RINO establishment punished me for it, kicked me out of the caucus, banned me from the House floor, and even had me arrested for showing up to do my job. Every time they hit, we hit back harder, and we won bigger,” Moore said when announcing his candidacy.

“Now we take that fight to Washington. With President Trump in the White House, we’re going to finish the job by deporting all illegals, lowering the price of gas and groceries, and stopping socialism in its tracks.”
