Results from elections of interest to the Parlor…

Montgomery Mayor’s Race

Bobby Bright won without a run-off his third term as mayor of the state capital.

Bright’s toughest challenger was Scott Simmons, who also ran against Bright in the 2003 election.

Finishing behind the frontrunners were William Franklin Boyd and Jon Dow.

Proposed Lee County Property Tax Increase for Schools

The proposed property tax increase of 7 mills for the benefit of four school districts was handily defeated.

Talladega Mayor’s Race

Incumbent Brian York will be in a run-off with challenger Larry Barton.

Mobile County Commission District 1 special election

Republican Juan Chastang and Democrat Merceria Ludgood won the primaries for the Mobile County Commission District 1 special election and will face each other on October 9. This race was mentioned here in the Parlor last month.
