Responses have been edited for length and clarity.
Policy priority: Clark told Axios that after some initial housekeeping — electing a council president, forming committees and creating operational infrastructure — she'd like to focus on two of the biggest issues facing the city: homelessness and public safety.
For public safety, she wants to see improved 911 response times and a renewed focus on recruitment and training of police officers.
