Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene wins Georgia primary

U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene defeated five challengers on Tuesday in a GOP primary race that tested how her conservative Georgia voters viewed her turbulent freshman term.

Greene, 47, became a celebrity on the far-right fringe of the Republican Party with her election two years ago as she accepted former President Donald Trump’s false claim that the 2020 election had been stolen and engaged in coronavirus conspiracy theories.

Greene spoke at an event hosted by a white nationalist where the crowd chanted “Putin!” after Russia invaded Ukraine and launched other partisan attacks that critics said encouraged racism and violence.

She will face the winner of a three-way Democratic primary in northwest Georgia’s 14th District, a seat drawn to give Republicans a huge advantage, in November.

Greene remained on the primary ballot Tuesday in Georgia’s 14th congressional district after a failed attempt to disqualify her by opposing voters. They argued that Greene engaged in an insurrection by encouraging the January 6, 2021 riot that disrupted Congressional certification of Joe Biden’s presidential victory. The Georgian secretary of state and an administrative judge denied the claims.

Yet other Republicans refused to give Greene a free ride for re-election. Although his first term won loyal followers, he left other GOP members embarrassed.

Leading the list of Republicans vying to oust Greene in the primary was Jennifer Strahan, founder of a health care consulting firm in suburban Atlanta, who presented herself to voters as a “conservative no frills”.

“Now is not the time for unserious politicians who just want to hear themselves talk,” Strahan said in a campaign ad, without mentioning Greene’s name. In another, she said bluntly, “Our current US Representative is not doing her job.

Greene was stripped of her committee assignments last year by House Democrats who accused her of spreading violent and hateful conspiracies. In recent months, Greene has been banned from Twitter for spreading coronavirus misinformation.

Green has been largely unrepentant. In a campaign ad posted recently on her Facebook page, she calls Biden and House Democrat Speaker Nancy Pelosi “Communist Democrats” who “hate America, hate God, and hate our way of life.”

Greene proved popular enough to raise more than $9 million for her re-election bid, placing her among the top congressional fundraisers of the year, according to the Federal Election Commission. Greene spent more than $6.6 million before the primary.

Strahan’s fundraising of $391,000 was far behind Greene but eclipsed that of the other Republican candidates – retired doctor Charles Lutin, engineer James Haygood, Marine Corps veteran Seth Synstelien and logistics manager Eric Cunningham.

Stretching across a swathe of northwest Georgia from metro Atlanta to the state line in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Greene’s district was brought to favor Republicans even after lawmakers in the state changed its boundaries slightly during the redistricting last year.

Even with the odds against them, three Democrats went head-to-head in an attempt to challenge Greene in November. Army veteran Marcus Flowers led the Democratic field with more than $8.1 million raised. He faced off against small-business owner Hollie McCormack and Wendy Davis, a former Rome city commissioner, in the district’s Democratic primary.
