Former Greene opponent wins GOP primary runoff for Loudermilk seat

Republican John Cowan has emerged victorious in the GOP primary runoff for the Loudermilk seat, beating out Rob Adkerson, who was the former chief of staff to retiring Rep. Barry Loudermilk. Cowan, a neurosurgeon and unsuccessful 2020 candidate against Marjorie Taylor Greene, now moves closer to securing a House seat in Georgia. This win is significant as it sets the stage for a general election battle that could have implications for the party's control of the House, especially in a district that has been a battleground for conservative candidates.
