James L. Clark in Haiti

Being the change in the world I want to see.

I really suck at social media, but you can reach out to me there if you want to.

I like to believe my purpose is to serve others by being a loving, passionate, and powerful example of how to live a productive, meaningful, and positive life. I try to do that by cultivating amazing relationships, producing inspiring content, and personally working with those in need.

I’ve spent my adult life serving others, especially in times of crisis. I’ve run businesses and worked in other roles to pay the bills, but humanitarian work changed me in ways nothing else ever has. That’s why I write and speak about it—to encourage others to step away from the selfie-centered way of life so prevalent today, and rediscover their humanity.

It only takes one person to stand up and make a difference. You can be that person too.

James L. Clark for U.S. Congress

Leadership Is What You Do, Not What You Say

I’m running for Congress because the issues affecting families, seniors, and veterans aren’t theoretical to me. I’ve worked in roles where decisions carry real consequences, and that shapes how I approach health care access, workforce shortages, economic stability, and national security. I’ve lived and worked around the world in communities where action matters more than talk. Entering public office is an extension of that mindset: I bring real-world leadership, accountability, and problem-solving under pressure.

James L. Clark Foundation, Inc.

Be More Today, Than You Were Yesterday

I’ve had the privilege to write books, give keynotes, and mentor others. As a way to pay forward the many opportunities others have helped me with, I co-founded The James L. Clark Foundation, a non profit organization to help people learn how to find balance, happiness, and fulfillment in life.

Change Begins With Action, Not Commentary

I first deployed as a medic on my own in the wake of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, because I watched politicians sit around and talk. It was an experience that changed my life and inspired the creation of Boots on the Ground. In 2010, after rushing to Haiti with a team following a devastating earthquake that killed over 300,000 people, we officially founded the NGO. For two decades we’ve helped countless people in need after major disasters, across dozens of countries.

Reach Out To Me

I believe every good thing that happens in life is because of the relationships we have with one another. In keeping with that philosophy, I try to stay personally available to anyone who reaches out to me. The quickest way to do that is to use this form. I’m pretty busy, so please allow me a little time to respond.
