About Clark Riemer

With over 10 years in North Carolina politics, including more than two years as a Government Affairs Specialist at Maynard Nexsen PC, I advise on public policy, legislative relations, and economic development. As a member of the Government Solutions Group, my work focuses on navigating appropriations, finance, technology, and regulatory issues in collaboration with the NC General Assembly and Executive Agencies. Previously, as Chief of Staff to Rep. Jason Saine, I contributed to drafting North Carolina’s $30 billion biennial budget, focusing on tax policy and strategic legislative initiatives. Driven by a commitment to shaping impactful policies, I am dedicated to supporting clients in achieving their goals in a collaborative and results-oriented manner.
