LILBURN, GA– Today, Rep. Dr. Jasmine Clark announced that her campaign for Georgia’s 13th Congressional District raised over $100,000 since publicly entering the race less than 48 hours ago. This massive groundswell of support from over 1,500 contributors with an average donation of $66 places Dr. Clark firmly at the front of this primary field.

“I’ve been truly overwhelmed by the outpouring of support I’ve received since I announced my run for Congress” Dr. Clark said. “Together, we can build a movement that will stand up and show up for our community and send someone to Washington who will fight Trump and MAGA extremists trying to take away our rights and attack science and public health.”

Rep. Dr. Jasmine Clark was first elected to the Georgia House of Representatives in 2018, flipping a Gwinnett County seat that had been long held by a Republican incumbent. Since then, she has been a leading Democratic voice in the legislature, standing up for science, abortion rights, and healthcare as the Republican majority aggressively sought to roll back rights. Dr. Clark earned her PhD in Microbiology and Molecular Genetics from Emory University and completed a postdoctoral project in HIV research. In addition to her legislative service, Dr. Clark serves as an Assistant Professor of Biology, working with undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral students. Born and raised in Georgia and a longtime resident of Lilburn, Jasmine is raising her daughter, Jayda, who attends Gwinnett County Public Schools, and her son Jacobe who is a freshman in college. She is a member of Salem Missionary Baptist Church in Lilburn.
