Clayton Fuller, the District Attorney for Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit, announced his run for Congress in Georgia’s 14th Congressional District in a Facebook video Monday night.
Fuller is running as a Republican to replace U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Rome, Ga., who announced in November she would resign Jan. 5. A date for the special election will be set by Gov. Brian Kemp within 10 days of Greene’s resignation.
Fuller will draw from his experience as a prosecutor and a former Air Force officer to be an “America first” politician, he said in the video.
“The people of this district trusted me to keep our streets safe as a prosecutor, and now I’m asking you to send me to Washington to keep our country safe,” Fuller said. “I’m not a career politician. I’m a mountain kid who loves this place and wants to fight for it.”
