Quoted in More Iowa women are running in — and winning — local elections. (Des Moines Register, 2/4/2018)Clarke is a part of a wave of women in Iowa and nationwide who are running for office. In the past month, several Iowa city councils have become majority-woman for the first time.
Dianne Bystrom, director of the Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics at Iowa State University, said the message from women who enrolled in the center's nonpartisan campaign training after the 2016 presidential election was clear: They felt the need to take action after their expectation of seeing the first female president was thwarted.
