Local News Feb 23, 2023 Republican Shelley Clinich is a candidate for Altoona City Council. Clinich, a mother, grandmother and small business owner, pledges to bring a fresh perspective to the council. As a manager in the automotive industry, Clinich spent decades on the road to some of the most economically depressed areas of Pennsylvania and neighboring states. She sees those same conditions deface Altoona streets. If elected, Clinich said she will focus on blight, abandoned commercial structures and a cumbersome bureaucracy stalling their development.
