Cam's Bio

CAM ASHLING is a small business owner, nonprofit founder, livestock farmer, and financial professional running for Georgia Secretary of State with a mission to protect voting rights and expand economic opportunity for every Georgian.
A Certified Financial Planner® (CFP®) and Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst (CAIA), Cam built her career in private wealth management, working on a team managing over $1.5 billion in assets. She later transitioned into nonprofit and political advocacy leadership, where she spent nearly a decade on the front lines of election protection—leading teams to cure absentee ballots, participating in hand ballot counting, and testifying in court to defend voters. She has challenged voter suppression in court and worked to expand ballot access across Georgia, including recognizing early the risks of SB202 and its takeover provisions and taking action to hold the state accountable. Cam was instrumental in helping flip Georgia in 2020 for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and went on to serve as AAPI Constituency Director for Jon Ossoff (2020–2021) and Raphael Warnock (2022)—helping deliver three historic statewide victories through coalition building.
As a candidate, Cam brings a systems-driven, results-focused approach to an office that sits at the center of both our democracy and our economic engine. She is not just an operator—she identifies gaps, builds solutions, and fixes broken systems. She believes civil rights don’t live in books—they live in systems, and equal opportunity must mean real economic advancement for every community. Her platform focuses on secure, auditable, transparent elections, while also making it easier to start businesses, access licenses, and protect your money—especially seniors’ retirement savings—from financial fraud. Not backed by party insiders and not a career politician, Cam is the only candidate with the experience to fix and run all four pillars of the office—elections, business, licensing, and securities—and to both protect the vote and grow Georgia’s economy for every community, helping more families build stability and overcome the affordability crisis.
