Andrew Clyde, born Andrew Scott Clyde on November 22, 1963, in Walkerton, Ontario, Canada, grew up in Indiana and New York.
He graduated cum laude from Bethel University with a BBA in accounting and business management and was commissioned as a United States Navy officer through the University of Notre Dame's NROTC program in 1985.
Over 28 years in naval aviation units and the Seabees, he made three combat deployments to Iraq and Kuwait, and he retired with the rank of commander in 2013.
Clyde moved to Athens, Georgia, in 1994, where he had taught at the Navy Supply Corps School, and earned a Master of Business Administration from the University of Georgia Terry College of Business in 1999.
Clyde opened the gun shop Clyde Armory, Inc., as a hobby business in his garage in 1991 and grew it to $12 million in annual sales and 25 employees. After the Internal Revenue Service took $940,000 from him through civil asset forfeiture in 2013, an action later reversed, he testified for reform of the procedure before the House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Oversight.
When five-term incumbent Doug Collins ran for the U.S. Senate in 2020, Clyde entered the race for the 9th district, won the August 11 Republican runoff against State Representative Matt Gurtler, and defeated Democrat Devin Pandy in November.
He took office on January 3, 2021, and three days later voted against certifying Arizona's and Pennsylvania's 2020 presidential election results. In May 2021 he said video of the Capitol attack resembled a "normal tourist visit".
In the 119th Congress he serves on the Committee on Appropriations and the Committee on the Budget, and he is a member of the Freedom Caucus.
Andrew Clyde is seeking reelection in Georgia's 9th congressional district, which encompasses the northeast part of the state and which he won with 69.0% of the vote in 2024.
In the Republican primary he took 76.0% of the vote against Gainesville mayor Sam Couvillon and Hall County commissioner Gregg Poole. His Democratic opponent is Caitlyn Gegen, a community organizer who won the Democratic primary with 60.0% against retired banker Nick Alex.
The general election takes place on November 3, 2026.
