independent musicians from all over the Pacific Northwest. The Mayor's Ball ended after the election of Vera Katz. A spokesperson for then-Mayor Tom Potter, said that the event cost Clark's office $45,000 and also admitted that it also pulled in nearly $80,000. Clark was re-elected in 1988 after defeating 11 candidates in the primary and beating former Chief of Police Ron Still in the general. Due to $71,650 in campaign debt (mostly to U.S. Bank with a $52,000 lien against his personal home) from his 1988 campaign, Clark needed to raise money in 1991. A $100-per-plate fundraising event ended up significantly undersold, and the "Oregon Political Party" fundraiser in the South Park Blocks actually lost money. Clark retired from public life and resumed his career as a tavern owner. In 2011, he wrote the foreword to Portland's Goose Hollow, a book about the neighborhood's history. Personal life and death Clark married Sigrid Fehrenbacher in 1964 and they had three children. Fehrenbacher died in 2000. Clark had a namesake in the Bud Clark Commons, "apartments for people experiencing chronic homelessness" located in Old Town and completed in 2011. Clark died from congestive heart failure on February 1, 2022, in Portland, at the age of 90. He was interred at River View Cemetery, in a natural burial.
