Clifford C. Parks (April 18, 1860 – June 21, 1937) was an American politician and businessman who served as the state auditor for Colorado from 1894 to 1896 and as mayor of Glenwood Springs multiple times.
Life
In 1887, he was appointed by President Harrison as the receiver of the land office in Glenwood Springs which Parks would hold until 1891. In 1894, he was given the Republican nomination for state auditor at the state convention with 558 votes against E. L. Price's 394.[1]
During
Progressive nominee Edward P. Costigan the Democrats were able to easily win the election with Elias M. Ammons defeating both candidates with over 40% of the vote, but the Republicans attempted to have Clifford placement in the popular vote increased to second only due to the second placing party having the choice of judges and officers of elections for the 1914 gubernatorial election.[3] Parks was later elected as Colorado State University regent in 1914.[4][5] In 1925, he was elected to the board of directors of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City.[6]
In early June 1937, Parks went to a Rochester, Minnesota hospital for an operation, but died two weeks later on June 21, 1937.[7][8]
