Today, Harrison Floyd of Lawrenceville formally announced that he will seek the Congressional seat of the 7th District as a Republican. The campaign also released an announcement video HERE.

“There is a better way forward and this is the time for new leadership. I am ready to protect the 7th District of Georgia from a run-away government and its overreach.” said Floyd. “Our country has fought against Nazi fascism, Soviet communism, and radical terrorism. The battle of this decade will be remembered as a fight against domestic socialism. I am ready to fight back against identity politics, entitlement, and elitism.” 

“Socialism fails every time, while hard work and freedom succeed. I come from a family with a history of service to the United States, and I am proud to have served as a United States Marine. What I see in the country today is not why my family serves, or what my brothers in arms and I sacrificed for on the battlefield. Now, my mission is to serve the constituents of the 7th District and show that Georgia, and our values of hard work, freedom, and opportunity, are not up for sale to any far-left liberal group.” 

Floyd is 34 years old and currently engaged to his fiancé, Erika, who is an ESOL teacher. He is a former Machine Gunner in the Marine Corps Infantry and served overseas during 3 deployments. These include a Marine Expeditionary Unit SOC (Special Operations Capable), and combat operations in both Saqlawiyah and Ramadi, Iraq. He also obtained specialties as a Combat Marksmanship Trainer, an Information Operations Planner, and as a Martial Art Instructor Trainer. 

After serving on active duty, Harrison used the Post 9/11 GI Bill to earn Dual Bachelor and Master’s degrees from the George Washington University (GWU) in 4 years. Harrison was selected to participate in the Emerging Leaders Seminar at Yale University’s School of Management and received a certificate in Finance Leadership Across Sectors. 

Harrison lives in Lawrenceville and is the former Vice President of the Black Conservative Federation, Campus Ambassador for FourBlock at GWU, and Advisory Board member of the American Freedom Fund. Harrison has also previously served as Policy Director for GW Vets and as a Policy Fellow on the United States Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe.
