Yes former MP is standing to be an MSP , as most know she was a MP for the Shire, Not a very good one it has to be said ,
Still she had nothing much to follow Brian Wilson , and other trash followed alleged groper Gibson( might be a bit confusing that )

Now on her exit from the West Coast,
She has stood to be a MEP in London, 2019
again in 2019 and again in london, this time Vauxhall by-election
She has stood as MP candidate for Leigh withdrew "amid anger from local members" and then stood for Rochdale 2017
Selected for Ogmore by-election,In Wales 2016 again locals were none to happy, and Katy exits stage right

Now Clark claims to be a Socialist, sends her offspring to Private schools,Still she is not alone in that it is believe a Councillor and Socialist did likewise
So Clark has been floating about the country in the style of a carpet bagger. Well not quite
Clark has according to WiKi
Stayed in London since 1998, that was shortly after she stood and lost in Upper Nitsdale
So in her time as MP ,she wasn't here, I suppose a bit like Brian Wilson who spent his time in Dublin, according to Helen Liddle and Henry MacLeith

She says she'll resign the peerage if elected

Why on earth would that be believable?

George Foulkes, Baron Foulkes of Cumnock didn't bother his backside, and again good socialist

Clark appear to be the favoured one over the local Ms.Baxter
The notion that a local for a Scottish Assembly is reject over an outsider who stays 400+ miles away, plus Clark can pick up £305 a day in the House of Lords.
Seems at best stupid

Well Clark like Foulkes stuck to her True Blue Principals and didn't resign,when she at home have a quick scurry round and get a shift in after all £300 is not to be sneezed at
The Statesman article
Is quite clear

His candidacy nonetheless divides opinion locally, as does Clark’s. The former MP nonetheless has the backing of the organised local left. It emerged today that she had also applied for selection in Ilford South, despite living in Vauxhall.

On twitter her Spad guy rattled away that she stayed in I quote "North Ayrshire" a give away he was not in Ayrshire

Clearly Not Ayrshire

Might a similar sort of story have a different sort of ending in Vauxhall? Constituency “moderates” theorise that Corbyn Central would love Hoey to be replaced by Katy Clark, a former MP (in Scotland) and a close Corbyn aide, who lives in the constituency (in Prince’s ward). Laura Parker, Momentum’s national co-ordinator who was a Corbyn aide until last September and also resides in Vauxhall (Clapham Town ward), is thought a likely favoured contender too.

A LONDON-BASED Ayrshire baroness standing for Scottish Labour at next year’s Holyrood vote, has promised to quit the House of Lords if elected to the Scottish Parliament.
Earlier this week, local activists narrowly picked Katy Clark to stand for Cunninghame North over local campaigner Johanna Baxter.
According to LabourList, Clark won the selection race by just 38 votes to 31.
That’s despite Baxter being a member of Labour’s national executive committee and Scottish executive committee and chair of the Cunninghame North local party.
Clark, who served as MP for North Ayrshire and Arran from 2005 to 2015, was made Baroness Clark of Kilwinning in the Lords earlier this year.
That was after serving as Jeremy Corbyn’s political secretary for most of his time as Labour leader.

Last year she stood in the general election as the party’s candidate in Vauxhall.
At the time she told local press: “I am delighted to be on the shortlist for selection in Vauxhall, where I live with my family and am active in the local party.”
It is understood that she still lives in London.
Previously she has also put her name forward for constituencies in Rochdale, Barnsley East, Leigh and Ogmore in Wales.
Cunninghame North is currently held by the SNP’s Kenneth Gibson.
He told The National: “I am curious how Baroness Clark of Kilwinning would be able to combine representing Cunninghame North at Holyrood, whilst being active in the constituency and attending the House of Lords?”
Gibson added: “Representing the people and communities of Cunninghame North is a full-time job, to be undertaken by someone who lives in the constituency and is committed to it, not Vauxhall. It’s not a job to be shared with attending the Lords.”
Clark told The National that she still had a place in the North Ayrshire constituency of Cunninghame North.
“I would intend to stand down from the Lords if I was elected as an MSP,” she said.
Gibson won with a majority of 8724 at the 2016 election and Labour were pushed into third place by the Tories.
