I'll preface this with saying that this is my opinion, based only on my observations in the past little while, and no comprehensive research. I think the whole council is pretty weak. They talk a good talk about some of the issues I care about (with a few exceptions), but generally take little substantial action. Clarke was on the recent transportation master plan and I found that plan to be pretty devoid of strong actions. Was pretty much business as usual, build a few mediocre bike lanes and bike paths, consider some more protection, nothing in constrained corridors, no hard choices. When it comes to decisions like Weber St. they were unwilling to make any compromise to even the impression of speedy vehicle travel, in order to support safer infra. Others on committee have supported sharrows as infrastructure.
Overall, I'm unlikely to vote for any incumbent as a result.
(One exception to the "good talk, no execution" rule I know of would be Sean Strickland who was pretty explicit that cycling/pedestrians were second fiddle to cars.)
