Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I was raised with my nine siblings on a small farm in Suwanee, Georgia, by my pastor dad and teacher mom. They instilled in us the American values of faith in God, hard work, and serving others. At 18, I became a distributor for an international company. Soon after, I renovated my first investment property myself, launching a successful real estate firm that still thrives today. I served two terms in the Georgia House of Representatives, where I earned the Defender of Liberty Award for my voting record, and I left office even though I was unopposed. I then stepped into an executive role for NeoLife North America. I have been a lifelong political volunteer in Georgia, working hard in elections, both big and small, to see constitutional conservatives of integrity put into office. I believe that elected office should be a season of service for all citizens, not a lifelong career for the few. I have woven that principle into my volunteer work, my voting habits, and my own time serving in office.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

I am the proven conservative in this race with a legislative track record. There are many layers of crafting policy and executive decision-making in government, but there is only one branch that crafts core values into the law that directs us. Likewise, there’s only one candidate in this Senate primary with lawmaking experience and that’s me. I have faced the ins and outs of a legislature with great success. The process demands skills not only in crafting law, but in building coalitions and compromising on policy without sacrificing convictions. I have done that work in Georgia and faced voters with my results! I am ready to work on day one. No on the job training, and no questions about if I’ll do what I said in the campaign!I recognize that our bedrock family values are under attack, and they are deeply connected to so many important parts of America. As the family unit is weakened, so is our economy, societal structures, and even our stature around the world. It’s no wonder radical ideologies are targeting the family! I will be Georgia’s voice at the federal level to protect the family, fighting to stop bureaucratic control of education and make parents more influential. I will work to end federal intrustion on the family and return power to the state and local levels. I will stop the reckless printing of money that saddles our future generations with debt. We can’t punish families for balancing their checkbooks when government refuses to do the same.As a public servant, I recognize that I’m accountable ultimately to the citizens, not party bosses, special interests, or mega donors. I will never be afraid to stand up even to my own party leadership. At the end of the day, the people have trusted me to be their vote and voice in Washington, and I will make every decision based on what’s best for them. Too many arrive in federal government looking for influence and fortune or their pure intentions get sucked into the swamp. I, however, recognize this is a season of service. Washington, D.C. is not my home — I am a proud Georgian! I won’t bend to the whims of power players in D.C., because I serve at the consent of the governed, not the pleasure of the powerful.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Amid our many problems in America, there are 3 policy sectors that I am eager to address immediately: individual liberties, a non-existent budget, and our broken borders. Our American freedom and prosperity is under assault from an ever-growing, out-of-control federal government. From free speech and religious liberty to our rights to assemble peaceably and bear arms, federal government has gone way outside the lanes of the Constitution. It’s time to rein in executive overreach and judicial activism and get back to proper constitutional roles. Likewise, Congress needs to take control of their Article 1 power of the purse! We have ceded control of budgetary policy to the executive, and Congress is complicit by kicking that can down the road with continuing resolutions and spending bills. It’s time for legislators to reclaim their fiscal oversight and craft a budget once again. We have to take a serious sledgehammer to our spending in order to tackle the debt and deficit addiction in Washington. Lastly, our immigration and border security policies are absolutely unacceptable, and both political parties are to blame! We have to stop the flow of sex traffickers, drug runners, asylum racketeers, and terrorists that are crossing into America unchecked. It’s time for us to finish the border wall, crack down on illegal crossings, end catch and release, and give Customs and Border Patrol the tools and manpower they need to effectively manage the flow of legal immigration into the U.S.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

I recently answered a similar question at a debate, discussing which presidents I most respect. I gave a two part answer, because two different of our recent leaders inspire me in different ways. I loved Ronald Reagan’s strength and boldness in defense of America in the world. He cast a vision for our nation and offered people great hope. A shining city on a hill, he called our us. Likewise, I have great admiration for some of the choices Donald Trump made — leaving fame, fortune, and being well-liked to take up a political cause that he would be vilified for. He sacrificed in his own way because he saw a need in America. Similar to Reagan, he wasn’t afraid to go against the grain, to be guided by what he thought was right rather than approval polls. I, too, hope to bring independence, thoughtfulness, and boldness to the Senate as we do the business of We the People.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

What is most important and, unfortunately, most often missing in elected officials today is integrity. If we are to restore confidence in our public institutions and respect from our allies and adversaries alike, we must be governed by men and women who speak truthfully, deal honestly, and walk the talk they give to the public. When the public makes us the trustee of their vote and voice in Washington, D.C., we must operate in honesty, transparency, and consistency!

What legacy would you like to leave?

I want the legacy that I leave for my children and all of the next generation to be one of hope and strength! No matter how depressing or desperate our situation seemed, I was not afraid to stand up and be a part of the solution. Taking action is about self-sacrifice, hard work, and service to others. That’s what I hope to leave as a lasting impression of my time in public office.

What are your thoughts on term limits?

I believe that public office should be a season of service, not a lifetime career. Politics has become profitable, financially and in power and influence. It feels like all the wrong kinds of people find their way into office and never leave. It’s time to put a stop to that! I term limited myself after two terms in the Georgia House and I am proud to be the first candidate in this Senate race who signed the term limits pledge. But make no mistake, we cannot stop at term limiting elected office holders. We need term limits for unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats, too, if we are ever to tackle the corruption in D.C.!

Tell us your favorite joke.

A senator meets an untimely end after getting hit by a truck while walking down the street, and he finds himself in front of heaven's gate. St. Peter, the entrance guardian, meets the Senator and explains that he had to choose between heaven and hell after spending a day in each.

Without hesitating, the politician mentions that he would love to be in heaven. However, St. Peter asked that he play by the rules first, so they took the elevator down to hell.

Upon reaching the destination, the Senator is surprised to see himself in a fascinating field of green grass and a golf course. In no time, the new soul got entertained by a group of other politicians whom he knew well on earth, and they welcomed him, chatted, ate lobster and caviar, and even played a friendly game of golf. Within what seemed like a few minutes, the Senator gets distracted by St. Peter, who tells him his time is up and he would now need to spend a day in heaven.

When the door opened, angelic souls were singing melodiously with their instruments. The Senator spent an enjoyable day there but was convinced he preferred hell since most of his friends were there already.

St. Peter wasted no time in escorting the soul back to hell. When they arrived, the land looked barren, hot, and filled with garbage. He found his friends dressed in rags and picking dirt off the ground.

The Senator seemed confused and blurted out his concerns in a teary voice. The devil smiled and replied: "Yesterday we were campaigning. Today you voted."

How would you evaluate a judicial nominee?

The primary quality I will look for is for a nominee to be a textualist! What that means is someone who sticks to their job of interpreting the law and not writing the law. Too often we see judges legislate from the bench, fabricating laws by ‘precedent.’ The Constitution is clear — Congress writes the law, the Executive enforces the law, and the Judiciary interprets the law. These checks and balances are vital to our republic, but they only work if Congress stops shirking their legislative responsibility and judges and bureaucrats stop taking on responsibilities the Constitution doesn’t give them.

What kind of relationships would you build with other senators?

I would strive to be known by my Senate colleagues as an honest broker, someone who is thoughtful about the issues and honest about his opinion. Too often, Washington suffers from ‘you scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours’ syndrome, but that doesn’t serve our constituents! I will build relationships with any colleague from any political party who is after transparency, responsibility, and an authentic desire to serve their constituents, not themselves.

Campaign website

Clark’s campaign website stated the following:

3 PRIMARY ISSUES

1) Liberty

Our Freedom is under assault with unconstitutional mandates.

2) Budget

With nearly $30 trillion in debt we MUST balance our budget and stop stealing from future generations.

3) Borders

We must stop the flow of sex traffickers, drugs, criminals and terrorists from crossing our borders.

ALL ISSUES

Liberty

Our liberty is under assault in a myriad of ways like never before. We need to look no further than vaccine status discrimination and unconstitutional federal mandates. We must put a stop to Joe Biden and Raphael Warnock’s radical socialist agenda by defeating Warnock and taking back the Senate.

In times like this Josh is constantly reminded of Ronald Reagan’s warning, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”

Stop Runaway Spending

Thanks to Biden and Warnock’s reckless and irresponsible spending, our debt is now approaching $30 trillion dollars. This is unsustainable and must stop NOW. As a father of six children, Josh will not sit idly by as we selfishly borrow and steal from future generations. It is our responsibility to leave this country better off than we found it. In the words of Warren Buffet, “If Congress can’t pass a balanced budget, they shouldn’t be able to run for re-election.”

In the Georgia State Legislature, Josh is proud of his record. He was able to cut wasteful spending, balance the budget, reduce the income tax and grow the economy. In the U.S. Senate, he will work hard to do the same. Growing up poor, he learned how to pinch a penny and prioritize between needs and wants.

Secure The Border

The current border crisis is putting our national security in grave danger. Open borders allow terrorists, sex traffickers, drug runners, and criminals to flood into our country. As a result, a record two million plus people have crossed the border since Biden took office. Sadly, the increase of opioids, much of which comes from China across the southern border, has resulted in the death of over 100,000 youth in the past year alone. It is imperative we protect our communities by finishing the border wall and properly equipping the U.S. Border Patrol.

Pro-Life

Josh has a 100% Pro-Life voting record. His views were strongly influenced first by his mother and later by his faith and the Constitution. As a very young child, he asked her which party they supported and she replied, “Parties change but principles remain. We ALWAYS vote with the party that protects life.” As a legislator back in 2012, he helped champion and pass the Fetal Pain Bill which ended abortions after 20 weeks. That was a start, but he won’t rest until abortion is overturned.

Defend the 2nd Amendment

Josh is a strong supporter of the Second Amendment and firmly believes that the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed upon. As a former legislator, Josh earned an “A” rating from the National Rifle Association and will do everything in his power to protect this constitutional right.

Strong National Defense

Maintaining a strong national defense and standing up for our greatest heroes should be our top priority. Josh is so proud to have 13 immediate family members, including four brothers on each side, who are either serving or have served in the military. Four brothers served on the front lines in Afghanistan. Biden’s massive failures have hurt military morale and weakened our position globally. He must be held accountable.

Constitutional Conservative

We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights. Our founders understood these rights come from God and enshrined them within the Constitution. My past voting record proves I will uphold and legislate according to the Constitution.

As a U.S. Senator, I will always adhere to the 10th amendment which states, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.” We must stay in our clearly defined lane and stop passing down unfunded mandates to the states.

Term Limits

Josh signed the Term Limit Pledge because he believes public service should be for a season and not a lifetime career. In keeping with this philosophy, he served two terms in the Georgia House of Representatives and returned to private life unopposed. Now, eight years later, he’s returning to duty because he and his family believe God is calling him to step up and serve once again in this critical time.

Stop Insider Stock Trades

“Public servants should be just that: in service to their constituents, not their own pocketbooks,” Clark said in early February. “I take the role of elected office seriously, and I will not use the influence of office to my own profit. My wife Chelsey and I have sold all of our stock assets as of February 2nd. I pledge to the people of Georgia that I will not participate in stock trading or financially benefit from insider knowledge while serving in the U.S. Senate. Having the trust of voters is a solemn responsibility. We are given the consent of the governed to deliver results and stability for We the People, not deliver power and money to ourselves.”

On February 2, the Josh Clark for U.S. Senate campaign announced that Josh and Chelsey Clark had sold their stock assets. Both Republicans and Democrats in Congress have found themselves embroiled in ‘insider trading’ scandals, including a particularly shocking tens of millions in profits linked to Speaker Nancy Pelosi. While Congress debates, Josh Clark took personal action.

Education

As the father of six children, Josh will always fight for the next generation. Due to Biden’s continual school lockdown, the most vulnerable among us were held back and suffered irreparable harm. If there is a silver lining, it’s that parents woke up to the liberal indoctrination of our children and made their voices heard. Shockingly, many parents were harassed, resulting in the need for a Parents Bill of Rights which Josh has committed to co-sponsoring when he goes to Washington.

Josh believes in allowing parents to pick the school that best fits their child’s needs. His family has made use of all the options including homeschool, public school, and Christian schools.

Critical race theory must never be taught in our schools. It is a divisive indoctrination that is offensive to Martin Luther King’s dream of his children being judged by their character and not by the color of their skin. Instead of working to build bridges that heal the wounds of the past and unite all communities, this harmful ideology divides and destroys.

Law & Order

Josh believes that the vast majority of our country’s law enforcement professionals serve with the utmost integrity. While the radical left cries to defund the police, he will firmly back the blue so our police officers can stay safe while continuing to keep our communities safe.

Lower Taxes

We must stop Biden’s plan to raise the corporate taxes to 28%. This will destroy jobs by pushing more companies overseas in order to compete. Josh will fight to LOWER TAXES to encourage innovation, job creation and economic growth here in the United States. He is proud of his record in the Georgia State House where he cut taxes and helped pass a constitutional amendment to prevent the income tax from being raised in the future.

Stand With Israel

We must always stand firm with our longtime friend and trusted ally in the Middle East. Josh is proud of President Trump’s bold decision to move the United States Embassy to Jerusalem. In the Senate, he will actively engage in building upon and strengthening our relationship with Israel, unlike Raphael Warnock who has repeatedly bashed Israel while praising Palestine.

Secure Elections

It’s absolutely essential that we the people have complete confidence in our elections in order to maintain democracy. For this reason, I strongly support a full forensic audit of the past election. Democrats should appreciate Republican’s demand for secure elections. After all, Pelosi pitched a fit insisting the 2016 election was stolen. In 2018, Stacey Abrahams again claimed the election was stolen and never conceded. It’s sad to see the double standard played out in the media.

The passage of Georgia’s Election Integrity Act in 2021 was a step in the right direction by making it easier to vote and harder to cheat.

1st Amendment & Big Tech

Big Tech has grown into monopolies because of protections afforded to them by Congress under Section 230. They’ve used their unbridled powers to censor free speech from conservative voices they disagree with. We must protect our First Amendment rights, and as such I will work to hold Big Tech accountable to “We the People.”

Energy Independence

Gas and energy prices are through the roof as a result of failed policies of Joe Biden & Raphael Warnock. Josh will fight to return America back to energy independence for the sake of national security and American jobs.[7]
