Fox News is wall-to-wall on Donald Trump’s “big dramatic flyover.” Interesting how that’s the shiny object they’d rather cover instead of the Epstein files press conference happening right now. Isn’t it?
Shawn Harris (@shawnforcongress.bsky.social)
Out here on the farm, when someone won’t look you in the eye and explain their vote, they’re hiding something. Marjorie Taylor Greene voted to keep the Epstein list secret. I vote for sunlight. Spread the word and make sure everyone knows I am running to remove her from Congress.
Shawn Harris (@shawnforcongress.bsky.social) reply parent
Our troops swear an oath to defend the Constitution, not to be pawns in political stunts and pick up trash. Marjorie Taylor Greene cheers on Trump’s reckless disregard for the law, but real leaders respect the rule of law and protect the American people from authoritarian overreach.
Shawn Harris (@shawnforcongress.bsky.social)
As a Retired Brigadier General, I know firsthand the proper role of our military. A federal judge was right to block Donald Trump’s illegal attempt to use the National Guard as his personal police force in California.

Good to see another HBCU grad out making a difference. Keisha Lance Bottoms (Florida A&M), my Delta Sigma Theta Sister- good from your Omega Psi Phi (Tuskegee University) Brother. Leadership Matters!

Always good to see our Senator! Let's get him to the 14th soon!

Congratulations to Sandra Williams and the Atlanta North Georgia Labor Council on an amazing Labor Day event. It was great to see Congresswoman Lucy McBath and Congresswoman Nikema Williams and so many others supporting the workers of Georgia. Leadership Matters!

Happy Labor the to the American Worker. You do the unacknowledged work that keeps society moving. Thank you for tireless commitment to a job well done. I promise to continue to fight with you and for you.

Those of you who've traveled down from Walker, Chattooga and up from Paulding and Polk - it was great to have you. I hope to see you when I come to your county soon. Thanks for making our first town hall such a success!!
Shawn Harris (@shawnforcongress.bsky.social)
Thanks again to the more than 50 people who joined us Thursday for our first town hall. Over half the crowd had never met me or heard me speak which was awesome! That's why we open our town halls to everyone. We want to hear from all of you.

And it probably won't be the last. But it is our time, on our watch, to stand up and make it happen "
Shawn Harris (@shawnforcongress.bsky.social) reply parent
I don't care if you are Democrat or Republican, it is our job to encourage our friends, our families, our enemies - everybody -to go and vote. Because right now there are people out there who are trying to break down our system. But this is not the first time our system is attacked.
Shawn Harris (@shawnforcongress.bsky.social)
"What we have to do as individuals is do our part," Harris said. "We have to make sure we flood the zone and get as many people as we can to go out and vote early The best way for voter suppression to work is for you to self-select and don't go vote.
Shawn Harris (@shawnforcongress.bsky.social) reply parent
Thanks for coming out and I hope to see you at the next one. We'll be announcing our next county soon!! We're heading north! Let's go!!!

Amazing night at our Floyd County town hall! Over 50 people attended and were from as far away as Polk, Paulding and Walker counties. It was a great conversation. We went a little long but I wanted to be sure everyone got their questions answered.

How can somebody from Northwest Georgia go to Washington, DC and all of a sudden become a multi-millionaire and forget about all of the people inside of her district who are struggling to make ends meet? ANSWER: They discovered the stock market…

Our campaign is growing by the day and it’s all thanks to you. Every supporter stepping up brings us closer to defeating Marjorie Taylor Greene and delivering real leadership for GA-14. I’m grateful for all of you. Let’s keep building. Leadership Matters!

Our hearts go out to those impacted by today's shooting in Minneapolis. Thoughts and prayers are not enough. We have to begin addressing the root cause of these tragedies. God bless and stay safe.

Amazing work Paulding County Democratic Committee! People from Polk County and Carrollton joined us for great BBQ and a Mac n' Cheese Cook Off. Congrats to the winner and all of the candidates who spoke and mingled with the crowd. See y'all on the trail again soon.

Too often, they are the most undervalued and underpaid members of our healthcare system. To every nurse: thank you. I see you, I stand with you, and I will keep fighting to make sure you have the respect, pay, and resources you deserve.
Shawn Harris (@shawnforcongress.bsky.social)
I’m honored to have the endorsement of Nurses for America. Our healthcare system is broken—we all see it every day—but despite those challenges, nurses continue to show up, care for patients, and give everything they have to those in need.
Shawn Harris (@shawnforcongress.bsky.social)
Have a blessed day.

Nedra believed in me – in all of us – and our ability to make change. Although I miss her every day, I know she is with us, watching and cheering us on. God Bless and have a great Sunday.
Shawn Harris (@shawnforcongress.bsky.social) reply parent
After retiring, we went back to see Nedra and we started talking about Marjorie Taylor Greene and Nedra said, “you should run Shawn.” Nedra was the first person to suggest that I challenge Marjorie Taylor Greene. She not only remained a supporter but became a good friend.
Shawn Harris (@shawnforcongress.bsky.social) reply parent
Karla and I had flown home from Israel to vote in the 2022 election. We were exploring the area and wandered into her shop, The Yellow Door. She was welcoming, gracious; we talked about the area, and she made us feel very at home.
Shawn Harris (@shawnforcongress.bsky.social)
I’ve been thinking about Nedra a lot since she passed. Those of us who had the privilege to know her were blessed with the friendship of a caring, committed, loyal woman with a great sense of humor and warmth. I want to share a personal story about how I met Nedra.

We need a representative who understands how government actually works and who will fight for real solutions, not attention-grabbing stunts. This is just her peddling another lie. Leadership matters.
Shawn Harris (@shawnforcongress.bsky.social) reply parent
Real leaders tell you the truth, even when it’s hard. MTG would rather chase headlines than solve problems. Our district deserves better.
Shawn Harris (@shawnforcongress.bsky.social) reply parent
Marjorie Taylor Greene thinks property taxes are “rent to the government.” That’s not just wrong it’s dangerous. Property taxes are how we fund our schools, keep our communities safe, and provide essential local services.
Shawn Harris (@shawnforcongress.bsky.social)
Once again, MTG shows she doesn’t understand her job. Property taxes are a state and local issue yet she’s busy pushing rhetoric that would gut Georgia families, strip our classrooms of resources, and leave our neighborhoods less safe.
Shawn Harris (@shawnforcongress.bsky.social)
I remember those days by that pine tree like they were yesterday. Communities don’t have that today—families are hurting, cuts mean kids go hungry. This is not the America I fought for, so I’m going to keep fighting for you. Leadership Matters!
Shawn Harris (@shawnforcongress.bsky.social)
Tweets don’t feed families. Farmers do. While others chase headlines, I’m chasing cattle and fighting for farmers. Congress needs a real Farm Bill and I’ll get it done. Leadership Matters!
Shawn Harris (@shawnforcongress.bsky.social)
Join me for our 1st town hall of the year. No pre-screened questions, no mocking, no name-calling. Just me listening and sharing how we tackle our community’s challenges. Everyone’s welcome. RSVP not required (but appreciated for seating/accessibility needs). See you on the 28th!
Shawn Harris (@shawnforcongress.bsky.social)
As a cattle producer, I got to continue to work hard for all farmers and the entire rural community. I see a Farm Bill coming when I become your Congressman. Let’s go win together!!! Leadership Matters!!!

Great day at the Rome Veterans Care Fair today. So many amazing heroes there. I’m honored to be one of you. We would all do it all over again. Thank you to my fellow veterans for your service and sacrifice AND thank you to the military spouses and families because they serve too. LEADERSHIP MATTERS!

Great start to the morning. It's wonderful to see so many of my fellow veterans, military families and the people and organizations that support us. Leadership Matters!

Glad to have an honest conversation about current foreign policy. Once elected, I look forward to sitting on the Foreign Policy Committee and providing sound advice to the President on how to lead globally something Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn’t understand and could never do. Leadership matters!

Marjorie Taylor Greene hopes you never learn my name. I’m Shawn Harris. I’m a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, and farmer. I’m running to replace her in Congress. If you’re ready for leadership that works for you, not for TV ratings, please share this. LEADERSHIP MATTERS!
Shawn Harris (@shawnforcongress.bsky.social)
Marjorie proves once again that she doesn’t understand what it means to be a global leader. This is not how you make America safer. As a past Chief of Staff of Kosovo Forces with NATO I know what it means to lead on the global stage for world stability. Tested Leadership Matters!

From Dalton to Rome to Paulding to West Cobb, PFAS is a major issue. Clean water is a right, and access to it shouldn’t be determined by your zip code. This deeply impacts our seniors and our children.
Shawn Harris (@shawnforcongress.bsky.social) reply parent
If your answer is “booked some tours, answered phones, and closed cases,” congratulations you just described her entire record. GA-14 deserves more than a glorified tour guide. We deserve someone who delivers for the people, not for photo ops. LEADERSHIP MATTERS!
Shawn Harris (@shawnforcongress.bsky.social)
Marjorie Taylor Greene’s been in Congress for almost 5 years. Ask yourself what has she done to make life better for: 📚 Teachers 👵 Seniors 🎖️ Veterans 🚜 Farmers 🎓 Young Adults 🔧 Skilled Trades & Union Workers
Shawn Harris (@shawnforcongress.bsky.social)
DC just hit its lowest violent crime rate in 30 years. Trump’s takeover of DC police isn’t about safety it’s about distracting from the Epstein files and running a test for his martial law plans. And what does my opponent Marjorie Taylor Greene have to say? (Crickets 🦗)
Shawn Harris (@shawnforcongress.bsky.social)
I’m grateful every day for the blessings in my life, and for the belief that we are our brothers’ and sisters’ keepers. Thank you, Rev. Shields, and your incredible congregation, for welcoming me into your church family and lifting me up in your prayers. Wishing you all a blessed day.

Tragedies like these require reflection and a refocusing of our efforts to ensure people in crisis have easy access to the tools and resources they need to make it through. We need professionals who can see a mental health crisis starting and help direct people to those resources.

I offered a common-sense solution: release the Epstein documents with redactions for anything truly sensitive. But Greene voted no. That tells you everything. You are either on the side of hiding the truth, or with the people demanding it. I’m the one fighting for accountability.

As a parent, as a neighbor, and as someone who believes government must do better in times of crisis, I’m holding Texas in my heart and calling on leaders at every level to ensure these families get the support, answers, and resources they need.
