Jasmine Michelle Clark (born December 26, 1982) is an American politician and scientist. Clark received a Doctor of Philosophy in microbiology from Emory University.[1] She is a member of the Georgia House of Representatives from the 108th district, serving since January 14, 2019. Clark is a co-chair for the Georgia chapter of Future Caucus alongside Steven Sainz.[2][3]
In May 2020, Clark received media attention after accusing public health officials in Georgia of "malfeasance" in how they reported COVID-19 statistics from the state. The office of Brian Kemp, the governor of Georgia, denied that there was any attempt to deceive the public.[4]
Clark is a senior lecturer at the Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing. As part of her science communication, she organized the 2019 March for Science in Atlanta, Georgia.[5]
Clark won the Future Caucus Rising Star Award in 2023, given to state legislators who "exemplify its mission to transcend political polarization through Gen Z and millennial public service."[6]
In June 2025, Clark announced her candidacy for Congress, vying to unseat Democratic representative David Scott of Georgia's 13th congressional district.[7] In November 2025, an open records request filed by Clark revealed David Scott had not voted in the past six straight elections. She remarked on Twitter, "I cannot fathom any elected official asking his constituents for their votes every two years without even bothering to go vote himself".[8]
