| Collapse all
I was born at Ft. Bragg. My dad was a helicopter pilot, my mom a teacher. I was in ROTC at NCA&T and commissioned as a 2nd lieutenant in the USAF. I served 20 years, and retired as a Lt. Col. For 20 years, I’ve worked in the private sector. I served five terms in the NC Senate.
- As a retired Air Force officer who's spent the last 20 years training soldiers on the nation’s most sophisticated mission command systems AND a retired NC Senator who served five full terms, I am the most qualified candidate in this race on either side of the aisle - and it’s not even close.
- I live east of I-95 and represented two of the five rural, low-wealth Leandro counties. I was the chief Democrat on the redistricting committee when we broke the last Republican supermajority and elected 7 Democrats to Congress. I brokered the historic 2021 budget that delivered $100s of millions for critical infrastructure projects in every corner of NC, including where you live.
- I’ve been endorsed by the longest currently-serving woman in the NC Senate, Sen. Gladys A. Robinson who said: “Everyday, Ben brought his serious, sober leadership to the fight to fund HBCUs and expand healthcare access to everyone. The results speak for themselves. Ben is the type of leader we need in the Lt. Governor's office and he has my full support.” I’ve also been endorsed by the the longest currently-serving member of the NC House, Rep. Marvin Lucas, who said of me: "Ben is the most prepared, the most qualified, and the most experienced candidate on either side of the aisle to serve as our next Lt. Governor."
Expanding healthcare access, ensuring a quality education for every child, building an economy that works for everyone, and protecting our environment and state’s natural resources.
I most admire the “foot soldiers” of democracy. The poll workers, the elections observers, the county party officials, the precinct chairs. They are never in the paper, they never make the news, but they keep American democracy working, often for no more than a pat on the back and free doughnuts in the breakroom. A love of democracy is what compels them - and I’m grateful everyday for that.
Ethics and integrity, competence, servant leadership.
The ability to get things done.
I spent five terms in the N.C. Senate in the minority. I still delivered historic budgets, funded HBCUs, added both my regional colleges to NC Promise, eliminated military retirement income tax, expanded Medicaid to new moms and babies, reopened the schools, raised the age and passed legislation to expunge criminal records for non-violent offenders, and drew maps to help break the supermajority and elect seven Democrats to Congress. As lieutenant governor, I will help shape the future of this state, in education, health care, the economy, the environment and by preserving our constitutional and civil rights.
Three primary responsibilities - succession, president of the Senate, boards and commissions. As a retired Lt. Colonel who’s been in command of large staffs, I’m best positioned to step into the Governor’s role if, God forbid, it’s needed. I’ve served more terms in the Senate than any other candidate (Dem or Rep) and am most prepared to be its president. Four major boards the LG sits on are Education, Community Colleges, Energy Policy Council, and Military Affairs. I am a former public school science and technology teacher, former UNC-System professor of engineering studies, and retired veteran. My skills, experience, and qualifications perfectly fit this job - and there’s really no close second.
I brokered the 2021 budget that delivered historic funding to rural counties for critical school and infrastructure funding. I added UNCP and FSU to the NC Promise program making college accessible for nearly 1 million families in the sandhills where the poverty rate is 40%. I fulfilled a campaign promise of eliminating retirement income tax on younger military retirees. I expanded Medicaid to new moms and babies. I gave young people a second chance through raise the age and criminal records expungement legislation. I brought funding to my home county for a new courthouse and a new high school.
My legacy of service to the citizens of North Carolina is already well established.
I’m not running for Lt. Governor to pad and preserve a legacy; I’m running to move NC forward in the face of far-right, extreme Republican attempts to take us back in time.
Kennedy assassination.
Brick mason's assistant. Fortunately, only one summer.
I'm an introvert so, ironically, running for office is a struggle.

Campaign website
Clark’s campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
As Lt. Governor, Ben will get things done by standing up to special interests and putting the people first. Every day, Ben will fight to fiercely protect our human rights, our constitutional rights, and our civil rights. Ben will foster a prosperous and thriving NC economy, build strong communities and deliver a better future for our children. Not one step back!

I'm a Common Sense Democrat running for Congress on a Family First Agenda. I'm running to raise the minimum wage, increase healthcare access, ensure children have quality education, support businesses and the economy, and protect the health and strength of our environment and our democracy.
- I'm running to put families first!
- I believe women are equal members of society and their rights should be protected.
- Teenagers shouldn't have weapons of war and make us scared to leave our homes.
Healthcare
Education
Women's Rights

Veterans and the Military
I was born at Womack Hospital on Ft. Bragg. My father was a helicopter pilot who flew combat missions over Vietnam. My mother was a schoolteacher. They were the examples that set the course for my life - patriotism, service before self, hard work, love of country, faith in God. I learned that from my parents at a very early age. I've always tried to follow their example.
Honesty, work ethic, putting people first. Elected officials should not be beholden to special interest groups.
I belive represenatatives should have experience OUTSIDE of government or politics. We have far too many career politicians in Congress right now.
America's major challenges are folks who threaten to derail our democratic way of life to preserve their own power and the epidemic of gun violence across the country.
In five terms in the NC Senate, I have worked across the aisle tirelessly to deliver for my constituents.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
