FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

September 16, 2025

Atlanta, Ga. — Today, Atlanta businessman, community servant, and principled conservative Clark Dean announced his candidacy for Governor of Georgia, positioning himself as the outsider candidate focused on delivering results for Georgia families.

A proven innovator in business and community leadership, Dean is the founder of Transwestern's Transaction Sciences Group. There, he has built a nationally recognized practice that helps companies, nonprofits, and communities thrive. With a background in biomedical engineering, management consulting, and financial structuring, Dean has spent his career focused on building businesses, growing jobs, and strengthening communities.

"As an outsider and business leader, I will stand firm in our shared conservative American principles, put Georgia families first, and deliver real results," Dean said.

Dean is running for Governor because he believes Georgia families deserve leadership that puts focus on them. Like President Donald Trump, Dean is a businessman and outsider who wants to prioritize solutions over politics. He knows too many families are struggling with the rising costs of housing, healthcare, and everyday essentials, and he is committed to building an affordable Georgia where every family has the opportunity to own a home and provide for their family's future. Dean believes Georgia needs a leader who will build on the successes of Governor Brian Kemp to ensure Georgia keeps moving forward.

"My agenda is clear: unleash Georgia's potential, strengthen our communities, and deliver tangible results that help Georgia families," Dean stated. "I'll be a governor who represents ALL Georgians.”

He also believes prosperity should be shared across every corner of the state and will champion innovation, workforce development, and public-private partnerships to grow Georgia's economy, attract new investment, and prepare the next generation for success. The key to a prosperous future begins in the classroom. Dean will focus on improving Georgia's education system so Georgians can dream big and achieve even bigger.

Dean has always lived by the values of service, integrity, and leadership. Dean and his wife have raised their family in Georgia and his roots run deep in the communities he has served. He is past President of the Rotary Club of Atlanta and currently serves on numerous boards including the Shepherd Center, the YMCA of Metro Atlanta, and Café Momentum Atlanta, just to name a few. Dean studied biomedical engineering at Harvard, where he played varsity football and served as a class officer before launching his career in business. Now, he is ready to bring the same innovative spirit, business expertise, and leadership to the Governor’s office so Georgia's families can thrive in a more affordable, accessible, and prosperous state.
