WASHINGTON — Georgia Republican Clay Fuller officially took the oath of office Tuesday following his special election victory to fill the House seat vacated by Marjorie Taylor Greene.
The new congressman hails from a heavily conservative district in Georgia’s northwest region and has made efforts to closely associate himself with President Donald Trump’s agenda. Fuller’s appointment helps preserve the GOP’s narrow control in the House of Representatives as he completes what remains of Greene’s congressional term.
Greene stepped down from her position following an ongoing public dispute with Trump that continues to escalate even after her departure from Capitol Hill.
Speaking to his new colleagues in the House chamber, Fuller told his constituents: “You have sent a warrior to Congress and I can’t wait to fight for you each and every day. To my Democratic colleagues, I look forward to working with each and every one of you.”
