Washington(CNN)Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has her first public Democratic challenger after Holly McCormack announced her plans this week to challenge the conspiracy theorist for her seat in the heavily GOP district in Georgia.
Several other Democrats have filed to run in 2022, Federal Election Commission records show, but McCormack, a 36-year-old insurance agent, is the first known candidate to publicly launch a campaign, said Maggie Chambers, the Georgia Democratic Party's communications director.
"The official candidate qualifying period is not until early 2022. McCormack's candidacy is the only one we know of to have launched publicly, but other candidates have filed with the FEC," Chambers told CNN.

McCormack says she's running to set a better example.

Money should go to our potentially vulnerable incumbents, or to win winnable Republican held seats.
