With Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Jan. 5 resignation, if you live in Georgia’s 14th Congressional District, you have been left without representation in the House of Representatives. Now what?
Until voters pick a new representative during the March 10 special election, former Greene employees continue to staff her offices in Washington and Dalton under the supervision of the clerk of the House of Representatives, according to the clerk’s website.
Although the district has no voting representation in the House, constituents are still able to contact the interim office for information on the status of current legislation or for help with existing cases.
“Constituents may continue to contact the office for assistance with federal government agencies as well as flag requests,” said Maggie Westerman, press secretary of the U.S. House of Representatives, in an email. She was referring to a program that allows constituents to obtain a flag flown over the U.S. Capitol from their congressional representative.
Greene’s interim office cannot advocate or take positions on public policy, according to the website. If there is specific legislation you would like to voice your concerns on, contact U.S. Sens. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., or Raphael Warnock, D-Ga.
Those are the available options until a new representative is elected and sworn in.
Usually, a newly elected representative will be sworn in by Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., soon after the results of the election are certified as long as the congressional session has not ended, according to information on the House website.
The most recent representative to be sworn in after a special election was Rep. Adelita Grijalva, D-Ariz., on Nov. 12 2025. It took seven weeks for her to be sworn in after her election victory. Grijalva filed a lawsuit, prior to being sworn in, against Johnson for the delay.

The special election March 10 is an open ballot election open to all candidates who pay the qualifying fee of $5,220. If no candidate wins more than 50% of the vote, a runoff election will be held with the top two candidates, regardless of party, facing off April 7.
Candidates continue to file with the Federal Election Commission in order to raise campaign funds for the special election. Twenty-two candidates had filed as of Friday. One Democrat and one independent have filed — the rest are registered as Republicans.
Georgia’s 14th District includes Catoosa, Chattooga, Dade, Floyd, Murray, Paulding, Polk, Walker, and Whitfield counties and portions of Cobb County.
