Fresh off a runoff election victory, the Democratic nominee for a Georgia U.S. House seat vowed Tuesday to defeat Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene in November.
“I’m Shawn Harris. I defended our nation and its democracy for 40 years and retired as a brigadier general,” the candidate posted late Tuesday on X.
“I’m taking on that mission again: I’m now the official Democratic candidate facing MTG. I’m going to fight like hell to end the toxic career of Marjorie Taylor Greene,” he added.
Mr. Harris beat Clarence Blalock in the runoff election Tuesday night. In a video posted on X, he thanked Mr. Blalock and said he needs his help to “bring all the Democrats back together.”
“It’s a great night, but this fight is not done. It’s actually just starting tomorrow and the fight’s going to be with Marjorie Taylor Greene,” Mr. Harris said in the video. “I need every Democrat, every independent, and every Republican that knows Marjorie Taylor Greene is not doing a good job for us to come to team Harris and let’s go win this thing.”
It will be a tough race for Mr. Harris in a district that runs strongly Republican. Ms. Greene has held the seat since 2021.
