Saturday morning at 9am ET, Democrat Shawn Harris, who will face a Trump-endorsed Republican in the runoff to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene on April 7, joins us for Substack Live. Mark your calendar now!
Georgia is purple-ish, but there’s no doubt a Democrat faces an uphill battle in a race like this. However, Harris’s showed a lot of strength in the election night results. He’s a true contender to go to Washington, and wouldn’t he be a breath of fresh air after MTG?
Harris beat his Republican opponent Clayton Fuller, 37.3% to 34.9%. But other Republicans drew a share of the vote as well, so this will be a tight race.
Harris got on my radar screen early because a dear friend in Georgia was working on his campaign, out walking house to house knocking on doors (and apparently that worked!). I wanted to know more.
Harris is quietly impressive. He is a retired US Army brigadier general. But he started out, and has returned to his roots as, a farmer. In fact, when I was setting up our Substack Live with him earlier in the week, I was learned he wasn’t available that afternoon because one of his cows had just had a calf and he was tending the new baby. The video up above could be a campaign ad! But it’s not, it’s just Harris in real life.
Harris explains why he’s running on his website
If you want to know more before we meet him live Saturday morning, Harris’s website lays out his view on the issues. We’ll have a chance to discuss them with him tomorrow, so bring your coffee, and if you have questions you’d like me to ask, drop them here in the chat.
