Campaign website

Fuller's campaign website stated the following:

AMERICA FIRST ECONOMY


Clay is committed to fighting for President Trump’s America First Agenda to bring good paying manufacturing jobs back to NW Georgia. As a tough America First Prosecutor, Clay has proven he can stand with backbone against the Socialists, Democrats and weak Republicans in Washington, and Clay understands the urgency to help President Trump bring permanent change in Washington.


MASS DEPORTATION NOW


As District Attorney, Clay has first-hand experience with the public safety and national security ramifications of the Biden era open borders policy. Clay supports all efforts to empower the Trump Administration as they seek to remove the millions of illegal immigrants who do not have permission to be in this country. Border Security is National Security.


CONSTITUTIONAL CONSERVATIVE


Clay will use his legal skills to fight back against the radical left as they try to limit our Constitutional freedoms, most importantly those enshrined in our 1st and 2nd Amendments. Our God given rights shall NOT be infringed, period. As a devout Christian, Clay knows the U.S. Constitution and American way of life were inspired by the teachings of Christ, and as an Air Force veteran, Clay understands the sacred duty of safeguarding our God given freedoms.


TOUGH ON CRIME


Clay never let the District Attorney’s office be used as a tool by politicians to push their agendas. His job is to hold criminals accountable. Period. Clay has worked with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies to hold lawbreakers accountable and take down criminal networks. This includes securing convictions for murder, rape, and drug trafficking along with bringing serial rapist James Works to justice after he escaped prosecution for decades. Clay will keep up the fight in Congress and work with President Trump to defeat the Narco Traffickers who have destroyed countless families across NW Georgia, and end the scourge of fentanyl in NW Georgia.

Expand all | Collapse all

Clayton Fuller is a conservative Republican running for Congress in GA 14. An 8th generation North Georgia, Clayton lives in Dade County with his wife and two children. He is a veteran of the U.S. Air Force, and continues to serve in the Air National Guard. As a successful prosecutor with the Lookout Mountain Judicial circuit, he secured numerous convictions in cases of violent crime. In 2018, he was appointed by the Trump administration as a White House Fellow. His work in the administration was divided between the White House and the Pentagon, where he worked in counter-terrorism. He was given an award for his National Security work during this time. Upon returning to Georgia, he founded a company dedicated to bringing investment into small towns in north Georgia. During his campaign, Clayton has deployed with the National Guard to fight the coronovirus epidemic. He is serving as the OIC of a task force dedicated to cleaning hundreds of nursing and veterans homes where residents have tested positive for covid-19.
  • Clayton is the only candidate who was appointed by President Trump, and has served in his administration.
  • Clayton is a Christian Conservative who will defend the unborn, support the 2nd Amendment, and fight illegal immigration.
  • Clayton is a veteran who has dedicated his entire professional life to public service.
Clayton is passionate about bringing prosperity and growth to small towns in North Georgia by supporting legislation that encourages investment in small towns. Due to his extensive experience working in National Security, Clayton has been sounding the alarm about the existential threat from China since long before the coronavirus epidemic. He is determined to hold China accountable at the federal level, and to reduce American dependence on China for goods and medicines. Lastly, Clayton believes that the National Debt is a travesty, and that reducing it is of utmost importance.
In 2013, Clayton was diagnosed with an advanced stage of thyroid cancer that had spread to his lymph nodes. He underwent a drastic 13 hour surgery and an extensive stay in ICU at Walter Reed Medical Center. The night before his surgery he made a promise to God that if he were to survive the following day, he would return to his North Georgia home and dedicate the rest of his life to serving the people of North Georgia.
Clayton has signed the Term Limits pledge, and was the second person in the race to do so.
