Georgia Republicans expand margin of victory, winning 2 state House seats

Republicans in Georgia won two decisive victories for state House seats, greatly increasing the margin of victory from 2020's election.

Two Republicans, Leesa Hagan and Devan Seabaugh, were declared the winners of special elections Tuesday night, according to the Associated Press.

Hagan, who was Toombs County Republican Party chairwoman, won her election for House District 156 with 52% of the vote, according to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.
 
Hagan will replace Republican Greg Morris, who resigned after fellow legislators elected him to the state Transportation Board. Morris garnered 100% of the vote in 2020 since he ran unopposed.
