Election 2007: What do you want us to ask the candidates?

Posted on July 2, 2007 | 18 comments

NOTE: Please use the form on this page to submit any additional questions for the candidates. The comments on this page are closed. Thank you for your interest.

We need your help. It’s our intention to interview each of the candidates in the Birmingham mayor’s race (as André outlined in yesterday’s my Birmingham column).

What do you want us to ask? We won’t go as far as saying “no question is too silly” (well, because some are), but we want as many as possible to choose from.

Our plan is to ask the questions to all of the candidates though there will be a couple that will only be able to be asked to one or two, so keep that in mind.

Let’s see what comes up…

Go on over to my Birmingham to read about our plans for the 2007 mayor’s race here in Birmingham, AL (as lofty as they may be).

New poll question: Who’d you pick for mayor today?

Posted on June 26, 2007 | Leave a comment

We figured it was time to start changing our poll questions on at least a weekly basis.

For those of you that are reading this via your RSS feed, please visit the site and vote in this week’s poll. It is a timely question, considering the increase in candidates for the mayor’s office in Birmingham (the election is coming up in October, with a runoff election if needed in November).

Election ’07: One announces, another tests the water

Posted on June 18, 2007 | 4 comments

This weekend current Birmingham City Councilor and former interim mayor William Bell announced his plans to run for mayor. The announcement was made in the Sunday edition of The Birmingham News.

We reported earlier this month that a website was “parked” by Bell and that signs had already begun appearing throughout the city. As of 9:15 a.m. this morning, the site was now not available for viewing at all, a sure sign that it will be operational in the coming days after content is added. We will update you when we are aware of its launch. Continue reading →
