As a successful prosecutor with the Lookout Mountain Judicial circuit, he secured numerous convictions in cases of violent crime. In 2018, he was appointed by the Trump administration as a White House Fellow. His work in the administration was divided between the White House and the Pentagon, where he worked in counter-terrorism. He was given an award for his National Security work during this time. Upon returning to Georgia, he founded a company dedicated to bringing investment into small towns in north Georgia. During his campaign, Clayton has deployed with the National Guard to fight the coronovirus epidemic. He is serving as the OIC of a task force dedicated to cleaning hundreds of nursing and veterans homes where residents have tested positive for covid-19.
