While campaigning, Clark said he will remain at his job at OPRF and continue volunteering with SUA, while also fighting for issues important to him. Clark recently had led a community effort to search for Cameron Sanders, a 16-year-old from Villa Park who had jumped in the Des Plaines River and had been missing for days. Sanders' body was recovered on Thursday. Other SUA events included a March to Madison in July 2016, from Oak Park to Madison Street in Forest Park. It was organized to raise awareness of racism and discrimination in Chicago's suburban communities. Another event was a Scoville Park vigil for OPRF student Elijah Sims, who was shot and killed in Chicago's Austin neighborhood.
