01

The person behind the name

Clay Fuller’s public career runs from an Air Force judge advocate’s office to a North Georgia district attorney’s desk and, since April 2026, to Marjorie Taylor Greene’s former seat in the U.S. House. [59][9][21]

His official biography says he was raised in the North Georgia mountains. The Governor’s announcement of his 2023 appointment as district attorney says he and his wife have two children and reside in Lookout Mountain, and his campaign website, in the plank it calls Constitutional Conservative, describes him as “a devout Christian.” [1][19][46]

Education and professional preparation

The official biography reports a B.A. in English from Emory University, where he captained the basketball team, an M.P.A. from Cornell University, a J.D. from Southern Methodist University and a master’s degree in Military Operational Art and Science from the Air Command and Staff College; it lists him as a distinguished graduate of the Air Force’s Officer Training School and a graduate of the Marine Expeditionary Warfare School. Degree years and bar records were not part of this review. [1]

By his own account he began as a career prosecutor, first as an Air Force judge advocate and then as an assistant district attorney in the Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit, the four-county circuit in the state’s northwest corner. From 2018 to 2019 he was one of fourteen White House Fellows, placed with the Office of the Vice President and the Department of Defense. He was the circuit’s senior assistant district attorney when Governor Brian Kemp named him district attorney on February 22, 2023; in 2024 he was elected to a full term without opposition in either the primary or the general election. [59][1][19][17][18]

His first run for Congress came in 2020, when he finished fourth of nine in the Fourteenth District Republican primary with 7,433 votes, 6.83 percent, in the contest Greene won with 40.34 percent. [16]

After Greene resigned in January 2026 he left the district attorney’s office effective January 12, qualified for the special election, finished second in the March 10 first round and won the April 7 runoff with 72,338 votes, 55.89 percent; he took the oath of office on April 14, 2026. On May 19 he won the Republican nomination for a full term with 66,888 votes, 81.27 percent of the primary, and faces Democrat Shawn Harris, a retired Army brigadier general who describes himself as a farmer and small-business owner and who was unopposed in his own primary, in the November 3 general election. [49][56][13][14][4][15][47]

A note on the military record. The official biography says he was “rated the #1 mid-career officer by his Wing leadership”; that is the office’s own description, and the evaluation it refers to was not available for this review. The biography dates his 2024 deployment from May to November; the district attorney’s office announcement of his return gives May 3 to October 30. Both are recorded here. [1][57]

02

Life & public service

From a prosecutor’s office in the state’s northwest corner to a special election and a first session in Congress, the documented milestones show how short and how specific the record is.

03

Accomplishments, in the record

Government documents, roll calls and bill texts establish the following work. Outcomes are described at the level those records support, with shared credit where the work was a team’s or another official’s.

2023–2026 / PROSECUTIONGovernment record

District attorney of a four-county circuit

Governor Kemp’s February 22, 2023 announcement made him district attorney of the Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit; he had been the circuit’s senior assistant district attorney and had argued cases before the Georgia Supreme Court and Court of Appeals. In 2024 he was elected to a full term without opposition. [19][17][18]

The office’s announcement of its first trial terms under him, published April 27, 2023, reports six cases tried in Catoosa County, with convictions from malice murder to rape and child molestation, four life sentences and two sentences of 40 years, and five cases tried in Dade County. The announcement credits trial teams led by Chief Assistant District Attorney Kevin Baugh and named assistant district attorneys; the district attorney’s role was to lead the office. [58]

He resigned effective January 12, 2026 to run for Congress; the Governor appointed Kathleen Van Pelt Davis to the vacancy on July 20, 2026. [56][20]

2010s–2024 / MILITARYGovernment record

Judge advocate, Air Force and Air National Guard

His official biography lists him as a lieutenant colonel and deputy staff judge advocate in the Air National Guard, a distinguished graduate of Officer Training School, and the recipient of the Air Force Commendation and Meritorious Service Medals. The Governor’s 2023 biography listed him as a major in the Tennessee and Alabama Air National Guards. [1][19]

From May to November 2024, by the biography, he deployed as legal advisor to the Combined Air Operations Center at Shaw Air Force Base and Al Udeid Air Base in support of U.S. Central Command; the district attorney’s office announcement of his return dates the deployment May 3 to October 30, says he was promoted to lieutenant colonel while deployed, and describes him as a fourteen-year veteran of the Air Force and Georgia Air National Guard. Service dates and evaluation reports were not part of this review. [1][57]

2026 / FIRST MEASUREGovernment record

A resolution passed eight days after the oath

H.Res. 1182, introduced April 16, 2026, expresses support for rural communities as “stewards of the environment, major suppliers of United States energy resources, critical providers of food production and manufacturing capacity, and drivers of national economic stability” and recites legislation the House had passed in the 119th Congress; its resolving clause declares that the House “has demonstrated support for the prosperity and economic growth of the United States.” The House agreed to it on April 22, 2026, 220–196, with Fuller voting Yea. A simple resolution states the sense of the House; it does not become law. [37][25][11]

2026 / LEGISLATIVE VOLUMEIndependent analysis

Fourteen measures sponsored, one passed

GovTrack’s record of the measures he has sponsored since April 2026 lists fourteen: H.Res. 1182, which passed the House, and thirteen that GovTrack lists at the introduced stage, none enacted. They include the Millstone Act, H.R. 9146, which would add death to the punishments available for the sexual exploitation of children and related federal offenses; the SHIELD Citizens Act, H.R. 9667, which would restrict TANF, SNAP, Supplemental Security Income, Medicaid, federal housing assistance, WIC and energy assistance to citizens and nationals; H.J.Res. 172 and H.J.Res. 204, proposed constitutional amendments on citizenship; H.Res. 1346, impeaching a federal judge; H.Res. 1434 on the Trump v. Barbara rehearing; a Congressional Gold Medal bill; and, on September 3, 2026, a White House Fellows Program Authorization Act and an American Made Federal Uniforms and Apparel Act. [11][39][41][38][40][42]

His office’s June 4, 2026 list of legislation he had sponsored or cosponsored runs to 52 measures, among them the Life at Conception Act, the National Constitutional Carry Act, the Repeal the NFA Act, the Abolish the ATF Act, the SAVE America Act, the DEPORT Act of 2026, the Somalia Immigration Moratorium Act, the Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act and a constitutional amendment limiting congressional terms. Cosponsorship records a stated position, not authorship. [5]

2026 / WAR POWERS AND DEFENSEGovernment record

Five Nay votes on Iran war-powers resolutions

Two days after taking the oath, on April 16, 2026, Fuller voted Nay on H.Con.Res. 40, directing the removal of U.S. forces from hostilities with Iran; it failed 213–214. He voted Nay again on H.Con.Res. 75 on May 14 (failed on a 212–212 tie), on H.Con.Res. 86 on June 3 (agreed to 215–208), on H.Con.Res. 89 on July 23 (agreed to 214–208) and on H.Con.Res. 93 on September 15 (agreed to 220–204). [24][28][29][34][36]

He voted Nay on the Ukraine Support Act, H.R. 2913, which passed 226–195 on June 4, 2026; Yea on S. 4465, extending the title VII authorities of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which passed 261–111 on April 30; and Yea on H.R. 8800, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2027, which passed 216–212 on July 22. GovTrack also records a Yea on H.R. 5334, the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act, passed 262–159 on September 16, 2026. [30][27][33][10]

2026 / IMMIGRATION AND SPENDINGGovernment record

Recorded votes on the border, the farm bill and the budget

He voted Aye on S. 2, the Secure America Act, a budget-reconciliation measure appropriating funds available through September 30, 2029 for Customs and Border Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel, border technology and screening, and enforcement and removal operations; it had passed the Senate on June 5 and passed the House 214–212 on June 9, 2026. He also voted Yea on H.R. 7567, the Farm, Food, and National Security Act, which passed 224–200 on April 30; Yea on H.R. 9770, the continuing resolution for fiscal year 2027, which passed 220–205 on July 21; and, by GovTrack’s record, Yea on the September 1 continuing resolution, which passed 370–48. On September 15 he voted Yea on the motion to table H.Res. 1486, a resolution impeaching President Trump; the motion carried 232–147 with 47 members voting present. [63][31][26][32][10][35]

2026 / COMMITTEES AND DISTRICTGovernment record

Transportation, small business and the water in Summerville

He sits on the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, with its Highways and Transit, Railroads, Pipelines, and Hazardous Materials, and Water Resources and Environment subcommittees, and on the Committee on Small Business, with its Oversight, Investigations, and Regulations and Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Workforce Development subcommittees. His office says he founded a company to bring investment into small North Georgia towns; the company is not named. [2]

On June 22, 2026 his office reported letters to the Appropriations Committee seeking funding against PFAS contamination in local drinking water, including a project in the City of Summerville; on August 20 it announced two new district offices. The National Retail Federation named him a 2026 “Hero of Main Street.” Letters and awards record advocacy and recognition, not appropriations enacted. [8][3]

2026 / VOTING RECORDIndependent analysis

Attendance and ideology, measured

GovTrack records that he missed none of the 205 roll-call votes held from April to September 2026, against a median of 2.1 percent among sitting representatives. Voteview’s DW-NOMINATE score places him at 0.703 on the conservative–liberal dimension after 171 scored votes, which for this profile computed to the thirtieth most conservative score among the 224 Republican representatives scored in the 119th Congress, delegates excluded; Greene’s score was 0.800. A score built on five months of votes is provisional. [10][12]

Heritage Action shows a lifetime score of 92 percent and no session score; the NRA Political Victory Fund grades him A with its endorsement for 2026 and grades Harris F; Club for Growth PAC endorsed him on February 9, 2026, and the Club’s legislator scorecard page showed no score for him at the time of review. [43][44][45][65]

04

Family & community

The Governor’s 2023 announcement of his appointment says he and his wife have two children and reside in Lookout Mountain; his official House biography says he was raised in the North Georgia mountains. [19][1]

In Congress he lists membership in the Republican Study Committee and in the 2nd Amendment, Sharia-Free America, Make America Healthy Again, Law Enforcement, Congressional Sportsmen’s, Free Enterprise, Golden Dome, Congressional Entrepreneurship and Congressional Skilled Workforce caucuses. [2]

His campaign website states a religion in its own words — “As a devout Christian, Clay knows the U.S. Constitution and American way of life were inspired by the teachings of Christ,” its priorities page says — and his 2024 profile for the White House Fellows Foundation opens, “I’m a Christian, husband, and father.” His official House biography and the Governor’s announcement do not address religion. The sources reviewed here document family, residence and public roles; they do not supply a verified record of charitable board service, and none is asserted. [46][59]

05

Mission & priorities

Campaign’s stated purpose

“Clay is committed to fighting for President Trump’s America First Agenda to bring good paying manufacturing jobs back to NW Georgia.” {46}

The following summarizes the four planks on Fuller’s campaign website and the positions his office has published since April 2026. These are stated priorities, read against the votes and bills above. [46][5]

01

An America First economy

Campaign proposal

The campaign’s first plank promises to fight for President Trump’s agenda “to bring good paying manufacturing jobs back to NW Georgia.” In office he sponsored H.Res. 1182 on rural communities as suppliers of energy, food and manufacturing capacity, which the House agreed to 220–196, and his office reports his vote for H.R. 6955, the Main Street Capital Access Act, on community lenders’ access to capital, which it says passed 270 to 155. [46][37][25][3]

02

Mass deportation and the end of birthright citizenship

Campaign proposal

The campaign plank titled “Mass Deportation Now” says he “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.” The record shows H.J.Res. 172, a constitutional amendment limiting birthright citizenship to the children of citizens, lawful permanent residents and lawfully present service members; H.Res. 1434, urging a rehearing of Trump v. Barbara; the SHIELD Citizens Act restricting federal welfare programs to citizens; an Aye on S. 2, the Secure America Act, which appropriates funds for border and immigration enforcement; and cosponsorship of the DEPORT Act and the Somalia Immigration Moratorium Act. [46][38][42][41][31][63][5]

03

The First and Second Amendments

Campaign proposal

The campaign says he “will use his legal skills to fight back against the radical left as they try to limit our Constitutional freedoms,” above all the First and Second Amendments: “Our God given rights shall NOT be infringed, period.” His office lists him as a cosponsor of the National Constitutional Carry Act, the Repeal the NFA Act, the Abolish the ATF Act and the SHUSH Act, and says he voted for the Protecting Privacy in Purchases Act barring special merchant codes for firearms retailers; the NRA Political Victory Fund grades him A. [46][5][3][44]

04

Tough on crime

Campaign proposal

“Clay never let the District Attorney’s office be used as a tool by politicians to push their agendas,” the campaign says, and promises to work with President Trump against narcotics traffickers and fentanyl. The campaign’s account of specific prosecutions, including a serial-rape case it names, was not verified in this review; the office’s own 2023 announcement of its first trial terms is the documented record. In Congress he introduced the Millstone Act, which would add the death penalty to the punishments for the sexual exploitation of children and related federal offenses, and cosponsored the Stop Gang Violence Act. [46][58][39][5]

05

The war with Iran

Documented position

In the March 22, 2026 debate he said, “Our country is safer because of what President Trump has done regarding Iran.” His five Nay votes on war-powers resolutions from April 16 to September 15, 2026, and his Yea on the Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act, are the record of that position; Harris told the same debate the United States should not be in the war. [50][24][36][10]

06

Life

Documented position

His office lists him as a cosponsor of the Life at Conception Act, H.R. 722, and the Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act, H.R. 4964. The campaign website does not address abortion, and no roll call on the subject appears among the votes reviewed. [5][46]

07

Clean drinking water

Government record

A member of the Water Resources and Environment Subcommittee, he wrote to appropriators on June 22, 2026 for funding against PFAS contamination in Northwest Georgia water systems, including a Summerville project, calling clean drinking water “a basic expectation that every Northwest Georgian should be able to count on.” The letters ask; the appropriation is a separate question. [2][8]

08

Spending and term limits

Government record

He voted for the fiscal year 2027 continuing resolution on July 21, 2026, which his office said kept funding at current levels through December 4, and for the September 1 continuing resolution; he cosponsors the Small Business Tax Cut Act and H.J.Res. 12, a constitutional amendment limiting the terms of members of Congress. [32][3][10][5]

How to assess a proposal. A campaign plan states an intention. Enactment, implementation costs, replacement revenue, and measured results are separate questions. These priorities should be read alongside the legislative and voting history above.

06

The fuller record

A useful profile includes the limits of a claim, the closeness of a result and the responses to material criticism. What follows is drawn from primary documents and independent reporting, with the candidate’s answer where one is on record.

  • A safe seat held by less than twelve points

    The Cook Political Report rates the Fourteenth District the most Republican-leaning in Georgia, CBS News Atlanta reported, and President Trump carried it by 37 points in 2024. In the April 7, 2026 runoff Fuller won 72,338 to 57,097, 55.89 percent to 44.11 percent, a margin CNN measured as “a 25-point overperformance for the Democratic candidate,” the largest in a special congressional election since 2017 by its data; Harris had taken 35.63 percent against Greene in 2024. Democratic candidates combined for nearly 40 percent in the March 10 first round, and Harris about 44 percent in the runoff, even as national Republican groups spent on the race. Both candidates had qualified for the May primaries before the runoff was decided; in the May 19 Republican primary he took 81.27 percent, and the November 3 general election is the next measure. [48][49][14][54][18][15][52]

  • The AIPAC question

    At a Cobb County Republican Party forum during the special election, NBC News reported, rival Reagan Box accused Fuller of taking money from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. Fuller answered, “AIPAC is not a foreign organization. I’m happy to have their support,” and added, “There is no room for antisemitism in the Republican Party, and that’s what you just heard from Reagan Box.” NBC reported that campaign finance reports did not make clear whether he had received money from AIPAC-affiliated groups and that Greene asked on X who the AIPAC-backed candidate was; NBC and Jewish Insider both reported that the organization congratulated him after the March 10 first round in a statement that also criticized Greene, and Jewish Insider reported Harris’s reply on X that he was not taking AIPAC money. The forum exchange itself appears in NBC’s reporting alone. Through June 30, 2026 his committee reported $305,480.74 from other political committees; this review did not trace their affiliations. [53][64][22]

  • Endorsements withheld, and outside money

    President Trump endorsed him on Truth Social on the evening of February 4, 2026, as the Chattanooga Times Free Press and CBS News Atlanta reported, and Club for Growth PAC followed on February 9; he spoke at the President’s February rally at a steel service center in Rome. Greene, who has said she would not endorse a successor, and Colton Moore, the third-place finisher with 11.63 percent, stayed on the sidelines before the runoff, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. NBC News reported that two super PACs, Club for Growth Action and Conservatives for American Excellence, spent on his behalf; Georgia Public Broadcasting and CNN also reported national Republican spending on the race. Harris raised $8,098,513.75 for the cycle through June 30, 2026 against Fuller’s $1,846,892.29, which included $450,000 in the candidate’s own loans, $60,000 of them repaid; his committee reported $411,902.13 in debts and loans owed and $70,518.10 in cash. Endorsements establish support; the FEC figures establish the money, not its effect. [60][48][45][51][13][49][53][52][54][23][22]

  • The impeachment resolution against Judge Ross

    On June 8, 2026 Fuller filed H.Res. 1346, a single article of impeachment against Judge Eleanor L. Ross of the Northern District of Georgia for false and misleading statements to two chief judges during a misconduct inquiry; Representative Andrew Clyde filed a separate resolution a day later with 14 cosponsors. The underlying findings are in the judiciary’s own disciplinary record: the Judicial Council of the Eleventh Circuit found on February 11, 2026 that the judge had engaged in an extramarital affair with a high-ranking law enforcement officer, including sexual intercourse in chambers during business hours within hearing of staff, had attended a partisan political event and had made false statements, material to the investigation, to the chief circuit judge and the chief district judge; it issued a private reprimand, which the Judicial Conference’s Committee on Judicial Conduct and Disability affirmed on May 22, 2026 in a decision that does not name the judge. CBS News Atlanta, with the Associated Press, and CNN identified Judge Ross as its subject, and CNN reported her June 11 letter of apology to a former law clerk. Fuller’s release called the affair “illegal under Georgia State code” and said the judge “has no place on the federal bench.” Both resolutions were referred to the Judiciary Committee, which decides whether to proceed; no committee action appears in the records reviewed. A reprimand under the Judicial Conduct and Disability Act is a disciplinary finding by judges, not a criminal conviction. [40][55][61][62][6][11]

  • Birthright citizenship after Trump v. Barbara

    His H.J.Res. 172, introduced May 4, 2026, would amend the Constitution so that a child born in the United States is “subject to the jurisdiction of the United States” only if a parent is a citizen or national, a lawful permanent resident living in the country, or a lawfully present member of the Armed Forces. After the Supreme Court held on June 30, 2026, 5 to 4 as his later resolution recites, that children of unlawfully or temporarily present parents are citizens at birth, he said, “The Supreme Court has refused to stop this invasion, so Congress must act,” and on July 15 introduced H.Res. 1434 urging the Solicitor General to seek rehearing. A constitutional amendment requires two-thirds of each chamber and three-fourths of the states; neither measure has moved from the Judiciary Committee. [38][7][42][11]

  • What the biographies claim and what the documents show

    The official and campaign biographies are nearly identical and include descriptions this review could not test: the Wing leadership rating, the specific convictions the campaign names, and the company his office says he founded, which is not named. The documents establish the appointment, the unopposed 2024 election, the deployment dates as two sources give them, the resignation and the successor’s appointment. During the six-month 2024 deployment the chief assistant district attorney ran the office as acting district attorney, and after the January 2026 resignation Deanna Reisman, an assistant district attorney in the office’s 2023 announcement, served as acting district attorney; the Governor filled the vacancy on July 20, 2026. [1][46][2][19][18][57][58][56][20]

How was this profile researched?

Reviewed September 17, 2026. This is a documented overview of publicly available biography, major actions and stated priorities, not an exhaustive vote-by-vote record; 16 roll calls from his first five months were read for it and the defining ones are cited. Numerical claims retain their original meaning and attribution. Election figures were read from the Georgia Secretary of State’s results site, whose March 10, 2026 page shows certified county results beneath a statewide banner still marked unofficial; percentages of the vote are computed from the vote totals shown there. Birth date, degree years, bar and military service records, personal financial disclosures, the affiliations of committee donors and independent-expenditure totals were not part of this review. Historical sources do not imply current positions. The source list provides direct links so readers can check the underlying material. Filings and campaign pages may change after this review.

Sources & methodology

Government records anchor the profile: the Clerk’s roll calls, the bill texts at GovInfo, the Georgia Secretary of State’s results, the Governor’s appointment announcements, the FEC filings and the federal judiciary’s disciplinary decision cited in the fuller record. Official biographies establish attributed background; independent analyses (GovTrack, Voteview) and advocacy ratings are labeled as such; reporting supplies responses and scrutiny; campaign materials are used for the candidate’s own priorities and claims.

Rules to know

  1. What to bringGeorgia law requires photo identification when voting, either in person or absentee. For in-person voting the Secretary of State lists: any valid state or federal government-issued photo ID, including a free ID card issued by your county registrar's office or the Georgia Department of Driver Services; a Georgia driver's license, even if expired; a student ID from a Georgia public college or university; a valid employee photo ID from any branch, department, agency or entity of the U.S. Government, Georgia, or any county, municipality, board, authority or other entity of this state; a valid U.S. passport; a valid U.S. military photo ID; or a valid tribal photo ID. A free voter ID card can be issued at any county registrar's office or Department of Driver Services office. On an absentee ballot application, give your driver's license number or, if you do not have one, your state-issued ID card number; a voter with neither provides a copy or photo of another listed ID or of a document that shows name and address (current utility bill, bank statement, paycheck, government check or other government document).

  2. Voting absentee by mailIn Georgia you can vote by absentee ballot in any election, even if you will not be absent from the county on Election Day. Request the ballot online through the Secretary of State's absentee ballot portal, or send the completed Absentee Ballot Application to your county election office by mail, email (as an attachment), fax or in person. The application asks for your address, date of birth, the county where you are registered, and your driver's license or free state ID number (or a copy of another listed ID). For the November 3, 2026 general election, requests are accepted from August 17, 2026 through October 23, 2026; hospital patients have an extra day to apply. Return the voted ballot by mail in the pre-addressed envelope, in a ballot drop box, or by hand delivery; it must be received by the county registrar no later than the close of polls on Election Day. The Secretary of State's absentee voting guide says postage must be affixed when mailing, and that a voted ballot can be returned by the voter, by a family member designated in O.C.G.A. 21-2-385(a) or by a person living in the voter's household. Check with your county elections office for the drop box locations available to you. If you miss the request deadline, you can still vote in person during early voting or on Election Day.

  3. Early voting (advance voting in person)Advance voting for the November 3, 2026 general election runs from October 13, 2026 through October 30, 2026. Counties must offer voting on Saturday, October 17 and Saturday, October 24, 2026, and a county can also offer it on Sunday, October 18 and/or Sunday, October 25, 2026. You can vote at any early voting location in your county; find one on My Voter Page or with the Secretary of State's Advance Voting Location Information search. Photo ID is required when voting in person (see What to bring). The Secretary of State's pages do not print daily hours; contact your county election office.

  4. Track your absentee ballotIf you voted by absentee ballot, you can check its status on My Voter Page, the Secretary of State's voter portal. The same portal lets you check your registration and shows the early voting locations in your county, your assigned Election Day polling place and a sample ballot. If your absentee ballot never arrives, contact your county elections office; it can issue a new one or tell you how to cancel that ballot so you can vote in person.

  5. Fixing a problem with your absentee ballotFor the November 3, 2026 general election, the Secretary of State's calendar sets the absentee ballot cure deadline at 5:00 p.m. on November 6, 2026: the last day voters can cure timely submitted absentee ballots for a missing signature or an information mismatch. The Secretary of State's absentee voting guide says that if the ID number is missing, does not match what is on record, or other documentation is not sufficient, your county will contact you and provide a document with which you can supply the necessary ID to verify your ballot.
