Marjorie Taylor Greene’s father owned a construction company based in Alpharetta, which is thirty minutes away from Cumming. It is likely the family relocated at some point during Mr. Taylor’s career.

She wrote a number of articles for what critics describe as a conspiracy news website, the American Truth Seekers. According to sources, the website is now no longer functioning.

In 2017, Marjorie Taylor Greene joined a Washington, DC protest against a Republican gun control compromise. Marjorie Taylor Greene herself has been criticized for her pro-gun stance, and she has had multiple pictures of herself with guns posted on her social media pages. However, her pro-gun stance is highly reflective of her constituents’ own beliefs.
Greene once again went to Washington in February 2019, this time to visit the U.S. Capitol building and Congressional offices. While there, she “went live” on Facebook. Marjorie Taylor Greene is said to have visited Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’ office as well as the offices of Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar. Even then, Marjorie Taylor Greene voiced her opposition to the progressive position of “The Squad.”
When Greene visited Tlaib and Omar, she asked them to revisit their swearing-in by using a Bible rather than the Quran which both of them used during their ceremony. One of the Qurans belonged to Omar’s grandfather.
Marjorie Taylor Greene originally planned to run in Georgia’s 7th District but then announced she would run in the 6th District instead, as this is where she lived.
Marjorie Taylor Greene’s initial political platform included balancing the federal budget as well as forcing Congress to be fiscally conservative.
By late 2019, Greene announced that she would be running in Georgia’s 14 Congressional District. This area stretches from east of Chattanooga to the exurbs of Atlanta. Greene would eventually buy another home inside the District in Paulding County. However, Marjorie Taylor Greene finally moved into the 14th District, living in Rome, Georgia.
Since her swearing-in ceremony, MTG has become even more controversial in Washington, so much so that she has already been censured by the House of Representatives, stripping her of her committee assignments.
