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.[3]

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.[4]
