   Kara Clark, a Cape Girardeau native who returned home two years ago to help care for her ill father, easily won her first election by defeating Jackson Mayor Paul Sander.

   Clark, who works as sales director for the Cape Girardeau Convention and Visitors Bureau, is virtually assured of winning the clerk's job.No Democrat has filed, and the only avenue open to a potential opponent in the November election would be a write-in campaign.
   
   Clark, 35, will replace Democrat Rodney Miller, who is retiring after 28 years in the post.
   
   "I am a lot overwhelmed right now," Clark said as she celebrated with supporters at the Heartland Banquet Hall in Jackson.

   Clark won with help from current county officeholders, including Collector Diane Diebold, Sheriff John Jordan and Treasurer Roger Hudson.
   ...
   By the time the first half-dozen precincts had reported, Clark had built a lead of nearly 800 votes, and the gap just kept widening.
   
   Supporters gave her hugs and cheers as the beaming Clark thanked them.Clark, a former executive with Southwest Airlines, said winning by a landslide never entered her mind when she filed for the job.
   
   "I wasn't thinking that far ahead," she said.
