April 8 (UPI) -- Republican Clay Fuller has claimed victory in Marjorie Taylor Greene's former House seat as Democrat Chris Taylor won a seat on Wisconsin's Supreme Court.
The two contests were closely watched Tuesday as voters in Georgia and Wisconsin cast ballots in races Democrats hoped would help them regain ground ahead of November's midterms.
Fuller, a district attorney in northwest Georgia, had secured President Donald Trump's endorsement and ran on a platform supporting many of the president's key priorities: an America First economy, mass deportations, conservatism founded on Christianity and being tough on crime.
The District 14 runoff between Fuller and Democrat Shawn Harris was held after neither candidate won a majority in the March 10 special election, when Fuller trailed Harris by about 2 points.
During his victory speech Tuesday night, the former U.S. Air Force lieutenant thanked Trump for elevating his campaign with his endorsement.
