CFJC Today Kamloops reported on October 1, 2026 that the BC New Democrats had named him, and described the nomination as his first run for political office. In 2024 the district's ballot listed Tristan Cavers (BC Green Party), Maddi Genn (BC NDP) and Ward Stamer (Conservative Party). Elections BC's statement of votes gives Stamer 17,930 votes (59.74 percent) and Genn 9,874 votes (32.90 percent), a gap of 8,056 votes. CFJC reports that the Conservatives won the seat by more than 25 percent. Clark told CFJC News that he wants to represent young people: "A lot of people my age are a little disengaged, they don't see themselves up in Victoria, in Ottawa." On local priorities he named housing and the cost of living. These are his words as the station printed them. Elections BC lists two other candidates in the district: Deborah Friesen (OneBC) and Ward Stamer (Conservative), the sitting MLA. CFJC's list of Kamloops-area candidates, published on October 3, 2026, shows the same three names. voche.me found no campaign website, party candidate page, social media account or published biography for Clark. His age, work history and community roles are therefore absent from this record. voche.me has not contacted the campaign.

The name search was limited because the WebSearch tool had reached its usage limit. voche.me read a Google News feed for his name, the site search of CFJC Today and the pages those results named. No campaign website of his own was found. The address pattern the BC NDP uses for candidate pages, korycclark.bcndp.ca and similar spellings, answered HTTP 302 and sent every request back to itself, so no page could be read.
