Clark resigned from Macon-Bibb Commission to run for lieutenant governor, focusing on tax reform, public schools, and expanding access to affordable housing and health care.
- On Monday, Seth Clark announced his campaign for lieutenant governor, shortly after resigning his Macon-Bibb County Commission post last week; he has served since 2021 and was elected mayor pro tem.
- On policy, Clark emphasized lowering the cost of living and pledging to bring a compassion-driven approach to Georgia's state government, focusing on public schools, child care, health care, higher education, affordable housing, and reforming the tax system for working and middle-class families.
- The campaign emphasized Clark's Macon record by noting tax cuts for working families, public safety investments, housing expansion and infrastructure, with Stacey Evans as chair, Tangie Herring treasurer, and Kelly Girtz secretary.
- County commissioners will meet on Jan. 20 to discuss the replacement election timing, which Thomas Gillon, Macon-Bibb election supervisor, said may be March 17 or added to May statewide elections.
- With a crowded field, Clark joins two other Democratic candidates, Josh McLaurin and Richard Wright, amid seven Republican candidates including John F. Kennedy, and McLaurin said, `This is not a moment when Democratic voters can or should settle for anything less than a proven fighter`.
