Reason for Seeking Public Office:

"I have never held a political office. I am running for State House Seat District 155 because

I believe we need a God fearing man who is honest and will be a strong voice in Atlanta.

My only interest is to make the lives of our families and future generations better.

I promise to represent you with honesty and integrity." -- Clay Pirkle

I identify as a Conservative Republican, but I believe we need to get back to representing the people, and not just the party.

I have the experience of being an Economist, a Banker, a Teacher, and a Farmer. I have a strong faith in God that is central to my life. I want to make a difference for our families. I am qualified to be the voice for you in Atlanta. If you want a representative that will serve you based on real-life experiences, then I humbly ask you to vote for Clay Pirkle.

"I want to make a difference for our families and represent you based on real-life experiences." -- Clay Pirkle
