District 14
The 14th district is based in the northwest corner of the state. Incumbent Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene, who had represented the district since 2021, was elected with 74.7% of the vote in 2020. Greene ran for re-election after winning a legal challenge to her eligibility based on her alleged involvement in organizing and promoting the 2021 United States Capitol attack, based on the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which bars people who have engaged in insurrection from serving in Congress. While Greene won by a comfortable margin, this was the worst showing ever by a Republican in the 14th district, and the best performance of a Democrat in this district, being the first time since the district was created that the Democrat received more than 28% of the vote.
