CLARENCE BLALOCK

for Congress 2026

Who Am I:

My name is Clarence Blalock and I’m an eighth generation Georgian, small business owner, and Paulding County resident.  For the past several years I’ve been getting Democrats elected in tough races up and down the ballot.  I know how to identify and turn out voters without wasting money on DC consultants.  
 
I’m the only Democratic candidate running, and I have experience turning out voters.
 
Building a base of consistent Democrats voters, reaching out low propensity voters and independents and promoting Democratic values is fundamental to retaking control of our government and fixing the things that MTG and Trump are systematically destroying.

Why I'm Running:

 
I’m running for the US House because I’m sick of seeing our district in the news for all the wrong reasons. The incumbent, Marjorie Taylor Greene, is at the center of our nation’s dysfunction.  
 
Now more than ever we need to fight against the misdeeds of the Trump/Musk Administration. Marjorie is the head of the unconstitutional scheme known as DOGE.
 
The key to removing her from office and rebuking Trump in the White House is to turn out Democrats, Independents, and infrequent voters in our district.
 
When we vote, we win.  

Women’s Reproductive Rights

Getting pregnant shouldn’t be a death sentence.

An out-of-control Supreme Court and radical anti-abortion laws passed by Republicans have destroyed normal standards of medical care expected by women during pregnancy.  The result is that a wanted pregnancy can quickly turn into a life-threatening nightmare.

Georgia has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the country and it’s getting worse.  The overturning of Roe has set us back 50 years and Republicans’ attacks on reproductive rights are causing OBGYNs to flee the state.

This is unacceptable.  Our families deserve better.  Full reproductive rights is essential healthcare.  If you elect me to Congress, my highest priority will be to codify bodily autonomy and full reproductive rights into law.

Protecting Medicare

Republicans are coming for your Medicare.  Trump started the process by allowing private companies to drain people out of the system by making big promises while offering substandard plans.  If they retake full control of Congress they plan to dismantle and privatize Medicare once and for all.

Privatizing Medicare would have a devastating impact on the health of America’s seniors.  I will protect Medicare and the right of participants to choose the doctor of their choice.  I will also fight to expand the services offered to include robust dental, vision and hearing benefits.

Strengthening and protecting Democracy

We need to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act to get dark money out of politics and make voting more accessible and fairer. The federal government can be a counterbalance to a state government that wants to limit access and make it harder for us to vote. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s lack of recognition of free and fair elections is unacceptable conspiracy nonsense and we must push back on it.

Closing the Gap with Voters:

The last two nominees had results in the mid 30’s because of conventional strategies that targeted Republican voters ineffectively and failed. Republicans will not vote for Democratic candidates, period.

There is only one real path to victory in 2026: retain Democratic voters from 2024, and turn out unaffiliated and low turnout voters. In District 14, this accounts for 164,692 voters who do not regularly vote. When I’m the nominee, I have a proven plan to activate at least 60,000 of these voters.

We won’t win by running a conventional campaign or a Republican-lite candidate. We have to give voters a reason to come out for the Democratic nominee and make sure they vote in every election.

This strategy also ensures additional voters for Jon Ossoff and our Democratic nominee for Governor, boosting our overall numbers in the state and impacting Democrats’ successes nationally.
