Many of you may be aware, but Clayton has made the decision to run for Prosecuting Attorney for the 9th West Judicial District. Please feel free to share, like and follow his new page to follow his campaign.
I’m proud to officially announce my candidacy for Prosecuting Attorney in the 9th West Judicial District.
I grew up in Cerro Gordo and moved to Ben Lomond during high school, where I learned the small-town values of faith, fairness, and personal responsibility. Those same values guide my work in the courtroom and in the community. I’ve stood up for people when it mattered most. Now I’m ready to stand up for all of us.
At 17, I enlisted in the U.S. Air Force to serve our country after the attacks of 9/11. After my honorable discharge, I used the G.I. Bill to go to college and then law school. That journey taught me discipline, commitment, and the power of serving something greater than yourself.
As an attorney, I have defended the Constitution by representing children, families, and the accused. Justice must work for everyone, not just when it is easy. That is how we protect the innocent, hold the guilty accountable, and keep the system honest.
As your Prosecuting Attorney, I will:
• Protect kids and families
• Hold offenders accountable
• Restore public trust in the courtroom
Justice should be fair, honest, and rooted in common sense.
Join me on this journey to bring justice back to Pike, Little River, Howard, and Sevier counties.
Early voting begins February 16, 2026. Let's get to work.
