Prior to becoming director of the BLM Clark served as the executive director of the Utah Department of Natural Resources. ["Deseret News"] She had worked as a staffer for James V. Hansen and Senator Wallace F. Bennett before that.

During her directing of the BLM it was often criticized by the Sierra Club and other environmental groups for allowing oil drilling at low cost. [ [http://sierraactivist.org/print.php?sid=46488 Sierra Club article on oil drilling] ] This action increased domestic oil production and decreased oil production costs, thus keeping the rise in fuel costs below what it otherwise might have been.

Clark sought to increase energy resource development on public lands. She was criticized for policies that ended up slaughtering many wild horses.
