A well-known name is stepping straight into the vacuum Marjorie Taylor Greene is leaving behind, and he is doing it with the subtlety of a battering ram. On Monday, Georgia State Senator Colton Moore officially announced his run for Georgia’s 14th Congressional District, the deep red territory Greene is abandoning when she resigns on January 5. And if his launch statement is any indication, Moore plans to run as the guy who can out-MAGA even the woman who built her brand doing exactly that.
“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 told Breitbart. That message lands squarely in a district rated R+19, where voters expect fire breath, not moderation. Moore is entering a crowded primary, but he’s clearly convinced he’s the one who can turn Greene’s departure into an upgrade.

This is big! Colton is great and would probably be on Andy Biggs's level in the House. pic.twitter.com/N1RwUzL579

Moore’s rise didn’t happen quietly. He became a national name in 2023 by spearheading the effort to impeach Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis over her now-collapsed case against President Trump and others. The Georgia GOP establishment reacted by trying to crush him. “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,” Moore said. “Every time they hit, we hit back harder, and we won bigger.”
Moore is leaning into that outlaw-but-successful persona. “Now we take that fight to Washington,” he said, tying his campaign directly to Trump’s agenda. His promises are straightforward and populist, deport illegals, slash gas and grocery prices, and “stop socialism in its tracks.” At 32, he’s young, aggressive, and eager to cast himself as the conservative who won’t blink when the political class swings.
His clashes with Georgia’s leadership didn’t stop in 2023. Moore was forced out of the State House in March 2024 after refusing to participate in what he called a whitewashing memorial for a “corrupt” former state senator. Then, in January, Speaker Jon Burns had him arrested for attempting to attend the State of the State joint session. If nothing else, Moore knows how to turn establishment scorn into rocket fuel.
“As Georgia’s #1-ranked conservative… I am 100% Pro-Trump, 100% Pro-Life, and 100% Pro-Gun,” he declared. “Northwest Georgia sent me to Atlanta to fight. Now I’m asking you to send me to Washington to get the job done.”
With Greene’s resignation about to deprive House Republicans of a critical vote, Governor Brian Kemp will call a special election for March. And if Moore has his way, the next representative from GA-14 won’t just vote like Greene. He’ll scrap even harder.
