Clay Ingram (born February 5, 1978) is a Republican member of the Florida House of Representatives, representing the 1st District, which includes most of Escambia County, since 2012. He previously represented the 2nd District from 2010 to 2012.
Ingram was born in Pensacola, Florida. He served as Chairman of the Escambia County Republican Party from 2005 to 2008 and has also served on the Executive Board of the Republican Party of Florida. He has taught and previously coached football at J. M. Tate High School in Gonzalez.
Ingram attended Florida State University and played football as a walk-on under coach Bobby Bowden. Ingram was a long snapper for the Seminoles and played on the 1999 undefeated National Championship team.
When Republican State Representative Dave Murzin was unable to seek another term due to term limits, Ingram ran to succeed him. He defeated David M. Karasek in the Republican primary and was unopposed in the general election. When the Florida House of Representatives districts were reconfigured in 2012, Ingram was drawn into the 1st District, and ran for re-election there. He won his party's nomination and the general election unopposed.
In the Allied Veterans of the World scandal, in which a supposedly non-profit organization was reportedly operating a "$300 million criminal enterprise and which resulted in the resignation of Lieutenant Governor of Florida Jennifer Carroll in 2013, Ingram has come under fire for accepting campaign contributions from the group in question.
