Clay Doggett (born September 5, 1983) is an American businessman, law enforcement officer, and politician from the state of Tennessee. A Republican, Doggett has represented the 70th district of the Tennessee House of Representatives, based in Giles and Lawrence Counties, since 2019.[1][2]

Career

Prior to running for office, Doggett worked in law enforcement as a correctional officer and a sheriff's deputy; he also is the founder and owner of a pressure washing company.

In 2017, Doggett announced he would run against Barry Doss, representative for the 70th district of the Tennessee House of Representatives, in the 2018 Republican primary.[3] Running as a "grassroots conservative," Doggett narrowly ousted Doss 52-48% before winning the general election soundly over Democrat Jessica Yokley.[4]

In 2020, Doggett ran unopposed in both the Republican primary and the general election, winning the general with 22,568 votes.[2]

Doggett co-sponsored constitutional carry legislation during the 2021 session and was passed on April 12, 2021. He also sponsored the "Second Amendment Privacy and Protection Act of 2021", which prevents a state or local entity from creating a registry to track citizens who legally possess firearms in the state, and was passed on June 2, 2021. Both laws went into effect on July 1.[5]

On December 30, 2021, Doggett announced he would run for his second re-election bid in 2022.[5]

In 2023, Doggett supported a resolution to expel three Democratic lawmakers from the legislature for violating decorum rules. The expulsion was widely characterized as unprecedented.[6]
