In May 2020, Clark received media attention after accusing public health officials in Georgia of "malfeasance" in how they reported COVID-19 statistics from the state. Republican Governor Brian Kemp's office denied there was any attempt to deceive the public.[4]
As well as representing the people of Georgia's House District 108 in the Georgia State House of Representatives, Clark is a senior lecturer at the Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing. As part of her science communication, she organized the 2019 March for Science in Atlanta, Georgia.[5]
Clark won the Future Caucus Rising Star Award in 2023, given to state legislators who "exemplify its mission to transcend political polarization through Gen Z and millennial public service."[6]
In June 2025, Clark announced her candidacy for Congress, vying to unseat Democratic representative David Scott of Georgia's 13th congressional district.[7]
