Mr. Clarke won a seat on the City Council for an unprecedented two-year term just last year when, for the first time, voters elected four candidates.
Since he filled the unexpired term of a Scott Malsin, who resigned, this is why he is up for re-election so soon.
The theme for his last campaign was “Listening to your concerns, responding to your needs.” For the 2014 campaign, his theme is “Following Through.”
