Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate supports protecting unborn life and endorses policies that defend human dignity from conception to natural death, framing life as sacred and to be protected. The campaign positions describe him as a conservative who will protect life and oppose abortion.
Climate & Energy
Tom Gray rejects the premise of human-driven climate change and expresses skepticism about climate science. He runs as a conservative Republican and emphasizes limited government and pro-growth policies rather than aggressive climate regulation.
Public Safety & Guns
The candidate affirms strong support for the Second Amendment and states law‑abiding citizens have the right to keep and bear arms. The campaign says it will oppose efforts to weaken the Second Amendment or punish responsible gun owners while emphasizing public safety through law enforcement and rule of law themes.
News
Tom Gray is in the news because Georgia's 14th Congressional District special election was won by Republican Clay Fuller, keeping the seat in Republican hands. The result gives Republicans a small boost in the House and leaves Fuller set to serve the rest of the current term. He will still need to compete in the Republican primary and the November election for a full term.
