ATLANTA (AP) — Voters in northwest Georgia will go to the polls to select a successor to U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on March 10.

Gov. Brian Kemp set the election date on Tuesday, a day after Greene resigned from Congress following a tumultuous five years.

The field to succeed Greene in Georgia’s 14th Congressional District is already swelling. As many as 19 Republicans have said they will run or are considering it, including state Sen. Colton Moore of Trenton, District Attorney Clayton Fuller and Paulding County businessman Brian Stover. Reagan Box of Armuchee, who had been running a longshot campaign for the Republican nomination for Senate, switched into the 14th District race in December.
