"We took money that wasn't ours; we return it."
Walkerton Herald-Times · June 2025 · on the 2025 tax rate under inflation
Re-Elect Monday, October 26, 2026
It's not our money to play with.
It's yours.
Four generations in Brockton. Four years of pushing for smarter, tighter, better-optimized municipal spending. The 2025 tax rate came in under inflation. The reserves are now earning six figures. The 2026 budget started paying down debt to save you money year over year. On Monday, October 26, I'm asking you to vote Clark, to keep building a brighter Brockton.

Why I'm running
"I'm not a politician. This isn't a career for me, it's a responsibility to the community that made me who I am."
I ran in 2022 because I care about this place. My grandparents ran a dairy farm outside Chepstow. Both my parents grew up here. My father spent 31 years working for the municipality. I came home to serve, and I ran because Brockton needs a councillor who isn't afraid to speak up and challenge the status quo.
I'm running again because I want my daughter to grow up with the same opportunities I had here.
