Greene, Marjorie Taylor, 1974-
Variant namesMarjorie Taylor Greene (born May 27, 1974) is an American politician. A member of the Republican Party, she has served as the U.S. representative for Georgia's 14th congressional district since 2021.
Born Marjorie Taylor in Milledgeville, Georgia, she graduated from South Forsyth High School in Cumming, Georgia before earning a B.B.A. from the University of Georgia. In 2002, Greene's father sold Taylor Commercial, a general contractor based in Alpharetta, Georgia that he founded, to Greene and her husband, Perry. The couple are vice president and president, respectively, of the company. Greene was listed as the chief financial officer of Taylor Commercial from 2007 to 2011; in 2011, Greene stepped down from this role and began CrossFit training. By 2012, Greene was working as a part-time coach at an Alpharetta CrossFit gym. In August 2013, she co-founded a CrossFit gym; she left the business in early 2017.
Having originally announced her intention to run in Georgia's 7th congressional district, Greene instead began her campaign in the 6th district, where she resided, on June 4, 2019. On December 13, 2019, Greene announced that she was shifting her campaign to the 14th district after incumbent Tom Graves announced he would not run for reelection there. Campaigning as a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump, she ran on the slogan "Save America, Stop Socialism!" On January 21, 2021, the second day of Joe Biden's presidency, Greene filed articles of impeachment against him, alleging abuse of power. Greene was briefly a member of the Committee on the Budget and the Committee on Education and Labor before she was removed from all committee assignments on February 4, 2021, for incendiary remarks she had made before her election. In June 2021, Greene was one of 21 House Republicans to vote against a resolution to give the Congressional Gold Medal to police officers who defended the U.S. Capitol on January 6.
