WHO I AM
I am Clayton Ballentine. I am a lifelong Conservative working on new and innovative ways to elect Republicans from the White House to City Hall. I primarily represent Republicans in Randolph County, NC and in the state of North Carolina.
My Story
I grew up in Randleman NC, the son of a law enforcement officer and a nurse. After high school, I began volunteering in political elections routinely. I soon found myself Vice Chairman of the North Asheboro precinct for the Randolph County Republican Party. Since that time, I have served on several executive committees and staff positions.
I have volunteered for campaigns from President to County Commissioner. Notably, in 2016 I went to nearly every Trump rally in the state of North Carolina. After President Trump's historic election in 2016 I attended his inauguration where I stood in the ticketed section closest to the Capital Building as an invited guest.
In 2021, I traveled to Georgia as part of the National Republican Senatorial Committee's efforts to elect David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler. During that time, we knocked on over 3000 doors, spoke to countless Georgians, and helped shrink the margins in the crucial Georgia run-off. I routinely travel to neighboring states to assist in the election of Republicans in tightly contested races.
In 2022, I served as the Digital Director for Lee Haywood for Congress and Demetria Carter for Guilford County School Board.
In 2023, I became the Director of Digital Operations for the Guilford County Republican Party, tasked with overseeing the modernization of the GCGOP's digital infrastructure and digital programs. I departed this position in August of 2024.
I am unapologetically pro-life and will fight to protect every unborn life from being murdered in the womb. I am extremely Pro-Second Amendment, and will fight to preserve the right of firearm ownership as well as advance causes to deregulate the ownership of firearms and firearms accessories. I will make sure that any Republicans that receive my support are true Conservatives and will advance a Conservative agenda wherever they serve.
