In a string of Truth Social posts Wednesday evening, President Donald Trump confirmed his endorsement for a number of Republican candidates, including one Republican who is running for Congress to fill the seat vacated by former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia.
Greene, once a diehard Trump supporter, began leaning left and then resigned on January 5, just three days after she cleared the five-year threshold needed to lock in a taxpayer-funded federal pension.
According to PBS News, there are a total of 22 candidates running for Greene’s seat – 17 Republicans, 3 Democrats, 1 Independent and 1 Libertarian.
A special election is being held in Georgia on March 10, where candidates will run on the same all-party ballot. If no one wins a majority, the top two finishers will go to a runoff four weeks later on April 7, PBS explained.
President Trump has endorsed Clay Fuller, a District Attorney in northwest Georgia, a military veteran and an Air National Guard officer.
Trump’s endorsement reads:
It is my Great Honor to endorse America First Patriot, Clay Fuller, who is running to represent the wonderful people of Georgia’s 14th Congressional District.
As District Attorney for the Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit, and Air National Guard Officer, Clay knows the Wisdom and Courage required to Defend our Country, Support our Brave Military/Veterans, and Ensure PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH. As your next Congressman, Clay will fight tirelessly to Grow the Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Promote MADE IN THE U.S.A., Unleash American Energy DOMINANCE, Keep our Border SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, Safeguard our Elections, Champion School Choice, and Defend our always under siege Second Amendment. He is strongly supported by the most Highly Respected MAGA Warriors in Georgia, and many Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Clay Fuller has my Complete and Total Endorsement to be the next Representative from Georgia’s 14th Congressional District – HE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN!
Fuller responded to the endorsement, writing, “THANK YOU, Mr. President. This is the honor of a lifetime. I will not let you or Georgia’s 14th District down. Our work to put America first is just getting started!”

On Fuller’s campaign website, more details on his background are shared:
Clay Fuller serves as the District Attorney for the Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit, a four-county circuit in NW Georgia. In this role, he is the top prosecutor for the region and prosecutes some of the circuit’s most violent and heinous crimes. He secured convictions in numerous jury trials, including murder, rape, and armed robbery—resulting in life sentences for the perpetrators. In addition, he has argued criminal cases before the Supreme Court of Georgia and the Court of Appeals of Georgia. Clay is also a Lt Col and a Deputy Staff Judge Advocate in the Air National Guard, where he has been rated the #1 mid-career officer by his Wing leadership, and has earned the Air Force Commendation and Meritorious Service Medals.
From 2018-2019, Clay was one of fourteen Americans appointed by President Trump to serve as a White House Fellow. During that time, he served in both the Office of the Vice President and the Department of Defense and advised on the response to the opioid crisis as well as improving processes that impact POW/MIA families. He also assisted senior Pentagon and National Security Council leaders with oversight of the worldwide employment of special operations forces in counterterrorism.
From May to November 2024, Clay was deployed as the legal advisor to the Combined Air Operations Center at Shaw Air Force Base and Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar supporting U.S. Central Command operations in the Middle East and was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal and the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal.
Raised in the North Georgia mountains, Clay Fuller was captain of the basketball team at Emory University and graduated with a B.A. in English before earning an M.P.A. from Cornell University and a Juris Doctor from Southern Methodist University.

Fuller posted the following video message on Wednesday, and wrote, “On National Girls and Women in Sports Day, we recognize and support our female athletes. Let us also pledge to stand with them against the left’s agenda to force men into women’s competitions — fairness, truth, and safety must come first!”
