Minnesota Assistant Senate Majority Leader Tarryl Clark Endorses Clinton“America needs change, and Hillary Clinton has the strength and experience to deliver it,” Clark said. “She is ready to begin tackling our challenges at home and abroad on her first day in the White House.”

A bipartisan problem solver, Clark has worked across the aisle to pass legislation to help seniors stay in their homes, to help reintegrate our returning veterans, and to make sure our youngest children are ready for kindergarten.
Clark is a longtime community activist and former executive director of the Minnesota Community Action Partnership and former Associate Chair of the Democratic Farmer-Labor Party. She has also been active in the Children’s Defense Fund-MN and the Legal Services Advocacy Project. As a Commissioner of the St. Cloud Housing and Redevelopment Authority, Clark pushed to expand affordable housing and the creation of good paying jobs.
