John H. Clark

“The town of Huntington Highway Department is a huge operation,” Clark said. “In my past I’ve managed more than 600 people, I’ve run operating budgets over $50 million, I’ve run facilities in three different locations in the United States, I’ve handled over 2 million clients as customers, so my background fits in well with the requirements for the highway department, where operating and capital budgets are over $40 million annually and 150 people plus.”

Clark, 61, of Greenlawn, is running on the Republican, Conservative and Independence tickets. He holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration and management from Dayton University. He retired as managing director and chief administrative officer of J. and W. Seligman. From August 2015 until May 2016, he temporarily served in the Huntington Highway Department as a deputy superintendent. He is married, with three children.
