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.”

Moore, 32, was first elected to the Georgia State House at the age of 24. He was then elected to the state Senate four years later in 2022.

Moore was exiled from the state house in March 2024 over his opposition to the chamber’s memorializing what he called a “corrupt” former state senator after reports indicated the late politician had used his office for financial gain. In January of last year, Georgia House Speaker Jon Burns directed police to arrest Moore after he attempted to attend the State of the State joint session.

“I’ve already gone toe to toe with the Georgia swamp and beat them,” Moore said in his statement. “I’m ready to do it again in Congress, every single day, with President Trump leading the charge.

“As Georgia’s #1-ranked conservative, my campaign and record prove that I am 100% Pro-Trump, 100% Pro-Life, and 100% Pro-Gun,” he continued. “Northwest Georgia sent me to Atlanta to fight. Now I’m asking you to send me to Washington to get the job done.”

Last month, Greene announced that she would be resigning from the House effective January 5 after weeks of escalating anti-Republican rhetoric on left-wing media circuits. The resignation will deprive House Republicans of a crucial vote when Democrats again attempt to shut down the government next month.

Georgia Governor Brian Kemp has announced that he will be calling a special election to fill the seat in March.
