Clayton Harbison is running for Congress to fight for the future of Missouri's 8th District.
This campaign is for every neighbor who believes that politics should serve people — not corporations. That our government can, and must, be a tool for dignity, fairness, and a better tomorrow.
Meet Clayton
Clayton Christopher Harbison is a lifelong resident of the Arcadia Valley, a husband, father, and community advocate running for Congress in Missouri's 8th District. He's not a career politician — he's a neighbor answering a call.
Clayton's journey into politics began years ago, working behind the scenes. But he walked away disillusioned — seeing more harm than good. Today, with a family of his own and a future to fight for, he's returning to politics — this time, in his own name, and for the right reasons.
His daughter Jeanette changed everything. What once were passing concerns became deep convictions — about healthcare access, economic fairness, clean water, strong schools, and a future worth staying for. Clayton is running to build that future.
He believes in:
Getting big money out of politics
Restore real checks and balances. Put people ahead of corporations.
Supporting working families
Mental health access, strong rural healthcare, and a fair shot for every neighbor.
Upgrading what connects us
Roads, bridges, and broadband that make life possible across our region.
Preparing for the future of work
Plan for AI — protect jobs and create new pathways in MO-8.
Uncap the House to Bring Representation Closer to The People
Uncapping the House means expanding the number of seats so that districts are smaller, representatives are more accessible, and the voices of everyday Americans are no longer drowned out.
Clayton knows that everything — from the water we drink to the cost of gas to the shape of our towns — is touched by politics. And it's time our politics started working for us.
