FAYETTEVILLE -- Steve Clark, who was part of the six-person contest to be Fayetteville's next mayor, endorsed Lioneld Jordan for the position Wednesday.
Jordan, a city councilman, placed second in the Fayetteville mayor's race. He is facing incumbent Mayor Dan Coody in Tuesday's runoff.
"I took the time to look at all those issues, examine each one of them individually," said Clark who came in third and received 21 percent of the vote. He spoke before a cheering crowd of Jordan supporters at the Fayetteville Town Center.
"I listened to my friend, Lioneld Jordan, the councilman, listened to my friend, Dan Coody, the mayor -- heard what they said, heard what they believe ... Lioneld Jordan believes in having a city where everyone voices their thoughts," Clark said.
He went on to list the many issues that have cropped up in this lengthy campaign. Clark said he'd heard comments Jordan was not dedicated to key concerns such as job growth, parks, protecting the environment and other areas.
"I've heard, well, Lioneld Jordan -- Councilman Jordan -- will create a negative atmosphere. That's just not true," Clark told the crowd, which included members of the fire and police departments' associations. Those groups also endorsed Jordan.
"To get an endorsement from someone like Mr. Clark is very important," Jordan said, who went on to praise Clark's thoughts around growing Fayetteville's role in a global economy.
"I remember he used to say -- over and over again -- 'Fayetteville is not a sleepy little town in Northwest Arkansas anymore, it has global presence,' and he's right," Jordan told the crowd.
Three other candidates from the mayor's race -- Adam Fire Cat, Walt Eilers and Sami Sutton -- have also thrown their support behind Jordan.
