Prior to serving in the House, Clark was a member of the Hamilton, Massachusetts Board of Selectmen.[1]

He was the Republican nominee for Massachusetts State Auditor in 1994, but lost in the general election to A. Joseph DeNucci.[2]

In 1995, Clark was succeeded in the 4th Essex District his friend James Colt. In 1996, Clark, who was upset over the fact Colt had gone on vacation during the 1995 budget battle, challenged Colt for the Republican nomination.[3] Clark defeated Colt by 58 votes.[4] Two years later Clark was defeated in the Republican primary by Ipswich selectman Bradford Hill.[5]
