Republican U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Northwest Georgia easily won re-election Tuesday over Democratic challenger Marcus Flowers.
Greene’s 14th Congressional District stretches as far south as Cobb County, but some of her strongest margins of victory were in far Northwest Georgia, including Murray and Dade counties.
Voters in Northwest Georgia, reliably Republican for the most part, expressed frustrations with the nation and its politics on election day.
After he voted, John Tate said he feels like the country has gone in the wrong direction over the past few years. Specifically, he mentioned that the price of everything has increased — and that basic truths have been abandoned.
“Up is down and down is up, and we just need to get back to common sense ideas,” Tate said outside the Fort Oglethorpe voting precinct.
