A directory of mayoral, City Council, and school board candidates.
In an effort to help the voters of Birmingham make an informed choice on the Aug. 24 municipal election, Iron City Ink provides the following list of candidates for mayor, City Council, and the Board of Education. The list is drawn from that supplied by election officials after the close of candidate qualifying on July 9.
We have included as much contact information on each candidate as possible to allow voters to learn more about them.
As of press time, this list was still subject to change, since the candidates must also be certified before securing their place on the Aug. 24 ballot.
