Clayton Perry is a former District 10 councilmember, U.S. Air Force veteran, and political conservative. Some of his top priorities as mayor would be public safety, fiscal responsibility, and improving streets and sidewalks. Perry did not run for re-election to his District 10 seat in 2023 after a December 2022 drunken hit-and-run and the subsequent publication of police body camera footage from the incident that showed him lying down in his front lawn unable to coherently respond to a police officer’s questions. Perry received no jail time for the offenses and served a year of probation before launching a political comeback bid.
