GA-14: Dalton resident Shawn Harris has announced he will run as the Democratic candidate in upcoming special election.

Dalton, GAImg 3892(WDEF)-Harris made the announcement while meeting with supporters, some of whom braved rainy weather to show their support. Backers described Harris as a hardworking, relatable candidate who understands the challenges facing everyday families.

One supporter, a longtime veteran, said Harris represents fairness and commitment to working people.

“I served our country for 40 years, and now I’m just raising my family,” the supporter said. “I want to make sure they have a fair shake, and that’s what Shawn Harris is going to do. I’ll be out here in the rain today because I believe in him.”

Harris says his campaign will focus on supporting veterans, protecting family farms, and strengthening the economy for working families. He emphasized healthcare access, affordability, and agricultural support as top priorities.
