Clark was first elected to the Legislative Assembly in 1986 to represent the constituency of Vancouver-East. In the 1991 and 1996 general elections, he was re-elected to represent the constituency of Vancouver-Kingsway. He holds a bachelor of arts degree from Simon Fraser University and a master's degree in community and regional planning from the University of British Columbia. Before entering politics, Clark worked in the labour movement and as a natural resource policy consultant.
