Frederick Mayor Announcing Re-Election Goals
FREDERICK, Md. (AP) -- Frederick Mayor Randy McClement is preparing for a re-election run.
McClement scheduled a news conference Monday evening to announce his goals for a second term.
The Republican businessman was elected in 2009 on a platform that included construction of a downtown hotel and conference center. A state-funded study last year concluded conditions are favorable for such a project.
McClement's administration has worked to promote bicycling in Frederick. And he kept minor league baseball in town by working out a 10-year lease with the Frederick Keys for their continued use of city-owned Harry Grove Stadium.
The other announced candidates for the mayor's office are Democratic state Delegate Galen Clagett and Democratic City Alderwoman Karen Young.
