Political careeredit
Appointed to fill the vacant seat formerly occupied by Jim Compton in January 2006,[1] Clark was elected to a one-year term in November 2006, a four-year term in 2007, and a second four-year term in 2011. Prior to her resignation (effective April 12, 2015)[2][3] Clark served as the Chair of the City Council’s Committee on Housing Affordability, Human Services, and Economic Resiliency. Clark also served as the Chair of the Select Committee on Minimum Wage and Income Inequality and the Chair of the Select Committee on Taxi, For-Hire, and Limousine Regulations. Clark was additionally a member of the council's Energy Committee and Education and Governance Committee. During her time on the city council, Sally served as the Council President and as the Chair of the Committee on the Built Environment.
Clark spearheaded a vote unpopular with 48% of residents of the city of Seattle,[4] but favored by Taxi industry members. The vote intended to limit the ability of popular ride share companies to operate, by capping the number of drivers they could employ at any time. The movement, led by Sally passed the Seattle city council 6-3 on March 17.[5]
Personal lifeedit
Sally and her partner live in the Brighton neighborhood of Southeast Seattle near Seward Park.
