U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has been a controversial figure in Congress. Known for making racist and antisemitic statements and spreading QAnon conspiracy theories, she was stripped of her committee assignments shortly after being sworn into office but has continued to build a national profile among conservatives.

That will make her tough to beat as she seeks a second term in the 14th Congressional District. The district includes 10 counties in northwest Georgia and part of Cobb County.

Greene easily defeated five primary challengers. She will face Democrat Marcus Flowers in the general election.

Although the newly drawn lines for the district added voters from Cobb County, the district still is very conservative with nearly 70% of voters identified as Republicans.
