After returning to academics to earn his law degree from Mississippi College School of Law, Clay dove into the lobbying arena and is now the Managing Partner of The Clay Firm.
During his nearly 20 years with the firm, Clay has established relationships with Mississippi’s top governmental officials and has earned the trust and utmost respect of Mississippi’s key executives and legislative leaders. He specializes in Mississippi-focused legislative, government relations, grassroots advocacy, and public affairs consulting; affording him the opportunity to work on issues that impact the state he loves so much.
