Biography
A lifelong resident of Franklin County, Stone Clanton joined the AFP-MS team in March 2022 as the central region Grassroots Engagement Director. This move occurred after years of volunteering with the organization on issues such as Initiative 65, grassroots efforts to repeal the state’s certificate of need regulatory laws and fighting an increase on the gas tax. As a Grassroots Engagement Director, Clanton helped build a broad, diverse grassroots base and expanded the chapter into areas of the state that had never been touched to educate residents of the Magnolia State on the issues that affect them.
