A Harvey spokesperson said Friday Mayor Christopher Clark has died.
“We extend our heartfelt condolences to the Mayor’s family, loved ones, and all members of the Harvey community during this difficult time,” the city said in a statement issued Friday morning.
The spokesperson said no other details are available at this time and that the family has requested privacy.
Clark was first elected as mayor of Harvey in 2019, and reelected in 2023.
“City services and operations remain in place, and the City continues to serve residents without interruption,” the city’s statement said.
A special City Council meeting will be held to appoint an acting mayor, the spokesperson said.
Clark did not attend a City Council Jan. 12, the first held in two months. A City Council meeting scheduled for this past Monday was canceled that afternoon.
