Though a native of Milledgeville (Baldwin County), Greene reportedly lived for an extended period in Alpharetta (6th congressional district, Fulton County), Georgia. She holds a baccalaureate degree in business and is heir (sale) to a construction business previously owned by her father.
Greene reportedly announced that she would move to the 14th congressional district (created after the 2010 Census, when Georgia gained a 14th seat in the U.S. House of Representatives) if she decided to run from that district. She later “bought a home in nearby Paulding County” (14th congressional district). By the time she took the oath of office in the U.S. Congress, “she had moved to Rome, Georgia (also in Georgia’s 14th congressional district).
Members of the U.S. House of Representatives are required to live in the “state” they represent. Hopping districts, like gerrymandering, is legal.

omments, Statements attributed to Marjorie Taylor Greene
On guns and militia
“…American militia groups …On QAnon (2017 video)
“… ‘the very definition of our Second Amendment because when our government gets to a place where it’s a tyrannical government, we’re guaranteed the right to bear arms and make a state militia so that they do not run us over’” “‘The government will never tell me how many guns I can own, and how many bullets I am allowed to fire if someone were to attack me or my kids’”
“… worth listening to …. There’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take this global cabal of Satan-worshiping pedophiles out, and I think we have the president to do it.’”
Wikipedia article definition of “QAnon”: “a disproven and discredited far-right conspiracy theory alleging that a cabal of Satan-worshipping cannibalistic pedophiles is running a global child sex-trafficking ring and plotting against U.S. president Donald Trump, who is fighting the cabal. U.S. prosecutors have called it ‘a group commonly referred to as a cult.’” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QAnon
Donald John Trump’s political party affiliations over time:
1987 registered Republican in Manhattan
1999 Reform Party
2001 Democratic Party
2009 Republican Party

Greene continued
On Race, Creed, Ideology
“Save America, Stop Socialism.”
Meme posted to her Facebook page, holding an AR-15 style rifle next to a collage of pictures of female members of the U.S. Congress, declaring “… time for Republicans to ‘go on the offense against these socialists who want to rip our country apart’”; captioned ‘Squad’s worst nightmare’”
“The most mistreated group of people in the United States today are [sic] white males.”
“‘anyone that is a Muslim that believes in Sharia law does not belong in [the US] government.’”
Characterizes outcome of 2018 midterm congressional elections
“…part of ‘an Islamic invasion of our government.’”
In a video holding “an AR-15 style rifle and warned
“antifa terrorists” to
…“… stay the hell out of Northwest Georgia.”
Wikipedia article definition of “Antifa”: “a left-wing anti-fascist and anti-racist political movement in the United States. It is highly decentralized and comprises an array of autonomous groups that aim to achieve their objectives through the use of both nonviolent and violent direct action rather than through policy reform.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifa_(United_States)
Greene continued
“Democrats must be held accountable for the political violence inspired by their rhetoric.”
U.S. president-elect Joe “Biden is ‘willing to abuse the power of the office of the presidency and be easily bought off by foreign governments, foreign Chinese energy companies, [and] Ukrainian energy companies.’”
Her post-election charges against her party, media, and others
“‘The GOP establishment, the media, & the radical left, spent months & millions of dollars attacking [her]’”
Her goal in Congress: “to continue "pulling the [Republican Party] to the right’
Ballotpedia posts of Greene statements (“Key messages”)
“I'm a conservative wife, mother of three, and businesswoman in the construction industry who stands with President Trump and against the left-wing socialists who want to wreck our country.”
“I’m running to stop gun control, open borders, the Green New Deal, and socialism.”
Greene’s campaign said: “Radical socialists want Americans on the same government-run healthcare plan with welfare recipients and illegal immigrants. Marjorie Greene is fighting against these radical socialists and will take the fight to Congress.” Ballotpedia accessed on various “Marjorie Taylor Greene” websites Greene’s sites April 6, and 26, 2020 https://ballotpedia.org/Marjorie_Taylor_Greene
