Albert Clement says that "as the president and vice-president of the Mountain Home Chamber of Commerce it has been my pleasure to work diligently for the betterment of Mountain Home's business community, ultimately benefiting the entire community. If elected to the Mountain Home City Council I would continue with that commitment to work for the betterment of the community and surrounding area."

Clement said that areas he would focus on would be "to insure the growth of Mountain Home is controlled and monitored to ensure that the growth does not exceed the capabilities of our infrastructure, our fire department or law enforcement.

"I believe the city needs to set the standards or be good stewards of our natural resources, especially water usage. Those who are reducing their usage of our natural resources, water, natural gas, electricity, etc., should be rewarded in some manner and the city should be leading the way.

"I am interested in the continuation of vitalization of the downtown core area," he said, adding that "I am interested in a strong city where the citizens feel safe, valued and a part of what is happening.

"We have terrific recreational activities and programs, which I would like to see expanded."

Clement was elected to the Executive board of the Mountain Home Chamber of Commerce in 2004 and was appointed to the Military Affairs Committee (MAC) in 2005. During 2006 he served as the vice-president of the Chamber of Commerce and currently is serving as its president.

"During this time I have been able to work closely with the City's Economic Development office with business recruitment and expansion, City Council members, County Commissioners and Mountain Home AFB leadership," he said.

  • Mr. Clement,

    Due to my schedule, I already voted for you by absentee ballot at City Hall. It was a hard choice because all of you running would be terrific.

    I voted for you because you showed an interest in public transportation and a weekly van to Boise. (The senior center has one a month.)

    Also, I am interested in the downtown area, would like to see it flourish.

    If the rest of the community votes for you also, I expect you to deliver on your promises.

    Good luck to you!

  • Dear Mr. Clement,

    I hope you run again in the future. The men elected will do a good job, but you would have also.
