Marjorie Taylor Greene Bio
Marjorie Taylor Greene (born May 27, 1974), also known by her initials MTG, is an American politician and businesswoman who served as the U.S. representative for Georgia’s 14th congressional district from 2021 until her resignation went into effect on January 5, 2026. A member of the Republican Party, she was first elected to Congress in 2020 following the retirement of Republican incumbent Tom Graves, and she was reelected in 2022 and 2024. Greene is widely considered a populist and far-right politician.
Before and during her time in Congress, Greene rose to national prominence for her outspoken support of former President Donald Trump, her alignment with populist and far-right positions, and her promotion of numerous conspiracy theories. Her pre-2021 social media activity and past endorsements of political violence led the House to remove her from committee assignments in February 2021. Her tenure in office included high-profile controversies over her rhetoric, committee roles, and policy stances.
Early Life and Background
Marjorie Taylor Greene was born on May 27, 1974, in Milledgeville, Georgia. She grew up in the South Forsyth High School community in Georgia and later attended the University of Georgia, where she earned a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in 1996. Her father is Robert Taylor, a name that has also been associated with her business interests.
Before entering politics, Greene worked in business, eventually running Taylor Commercial, a construction and property management company based in the Atlanta area. Her career as a businesswoman, combined with her conservative activism, helped shape the political outlook that she would later bring to the national stage.
Path to U.S. Politics
Greene first became publicly active in conservative causes through her business and social media platforms, where she frequently shared her political views. She originally announced her intention to run for Congress in Georgia’s 7th congressional district, but in June 2019 she began her campaign in the 6th district. Later that year, she shifted her campaign to the 14th district after incumbent Republican Tom Graves announced he would not seek reelection.
Greene campaigned as a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump, running on the slogan “Save America, Stop Socialism!” She finished first in the June 9, 2020, Republican primary, and on August 11, 2020, she won the runoff election, prompting Trump to call her a future Republican star. The district’s heavy Republican lean made her the overwhelming favorite in the general election, which she won with 74 percent of the vote.
Marjorie Taylor Greene Career
Early Career (2019–2020)
Greene’s political career began in 2019 when she started organizing rallies and engaging with gun rights groups, including appearing at events in Georgia tied to Second Amendment advocacy. Her early activism included speaking at a February 2020 rally in Villanow hosted by Silent No Longer, a group campaigning to make Walker County a Second Amendment sanctuary.
During this period, Greene also built a network of conservative supporters, and her business background gave her the resources to largely self-fund her campaign. She loaned and contributed substantial sums from her construction company to her congressional bid, helping her stand out in a crowded Republican primary field.
Congressional Tenure (2021–2026)
Greene was sworn in as the U.S. representative for Georgia’s 14th congressional district in January 2021. On her first day, she wore a face mask onto the House floor that read “Trump Won,” despite Trump having lost the 2020 presidential election to Joe Biden. During the counting of electoral votes, she raised an objection to counting Michigan’s electoral votes, though the objection was not signed by a senator and was therefore rejected.
Days after President Biden’s inauguration, Greene filed articles of impeachment against him, citing alleged abuse of power. By September 2022, she had introduced five different resolutions seeking his impeachment. On February 4, 2021, the U.S. House of Representatives voted 230 to 199 to remove Greene from all of her committee assignments in response to her endorsements of political violence, with 11 Republicans joining unanimous Democrats in the vote.
Greene was reelected in November 2022, defeating Democratic nominee Marcus Flowers with 65.9 percent of the vote. In January 2023, she was appointed to new committee roles. In June 2023, she was expelled from the conservative House Freedom Caucus after insulting fellow caucus member Congresswoman Lauren Boebert during an argument on the House floor. In May 2024, she unsuccessfully attempted to oust Mike Johnson from his role as Speaker of the House.
Late Tenure and Resignation (2024–2026)
Greene was reelected in November 2024, receiving 64.4 percent of the vote against retired Army Brigadier General Shawn Harris. As Trump began his second presidency, Greene publicly criticized him, questioning whether he was “still America First” and attacking his initial opposition to the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Trump responded by berating her on Truth Social and in the press, revoking his endorsement and opening the door to a primary challenge.
In November 2025, Greene began supporting the House discharge petition to release files related to the Jeffrey Epstein case and criticized Trump for opposing the release. Her policy positions also shifted on Middle East policy, where she referred to Israeli actions in Gaza as genocide, and on domestic issues like deportations and healthcare affordability. On November 21, 2025, Greene announced that she would resign from her U.S. House seat, with the resignation taking effect on January 5, 2026, saying she did not want her district to endure a “hurtful and hateful primary.”
Notable Events and Milestones
One signature event of Greene’s tenure came in 2021 when the full House voted to remove her from committee assignments, a rare rebuke of a sitting member for past rhetoric. Another defining moment came in November 2025, when she announced her resignation from Congress amid an unprecedented public break with President Trump, marking a sharp turn from her years as one of his most prominent congressional allies.
