U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Northwest Georgia, used a Tuesday night appearance in Murray County to tell attendees that she is one of them while also highlighting her work in Washington.
Greene, running for her third term in Congress from Georgia’s’s 14th District, hosted a town hall at Eton’s Pleasant Valley High School. It was one of three town halls she’s holding in the district this week.
She is being opposed by Democratic nominee Shawn Harris, a rancher and former U.S. Army general who lives in Rockmart. The general election is Nov. 5, and early voting begins Oct. 15.
“Tonight, I get to talk to you about the job I do for you in Washington,” Greene said to the crowd of about 100. “And I want to thank you for sending me to represent you. Representing your values, representing your feelings, your frustrations, your angers. Whatever it may be, I promise I carry it to Washington.”
First elected to the House in 2020, Greene took office with nearly 75% of the vote. In 2022, she was returned to her seat with about 66% of the vote in what is considered one of the most conservative areas of Georgia.
