Mayor Bell has left Alabama more times than President Obama has traveled abroad

Tuesday, October 7th, 2014
William Bell

Birmingham mayor William Bell speaks at the National Press
Club on Sept. 25 in Washington to campaign for the 2016
Democratic National Convention.

Birmingham mayor William Bell has not sat still for long. Since August 2011, he has traveled out of state on city business some 37 times, including 17 trips to Washington.

AL.com received information on the trips from city spending forms, including the total cost, $65,000. He most recently visited Japan in September for the Southeast U.S./Japan Association meeting, at the request of Gov. Bentley, and spoke at the National Press Club later in the month in Washington.

Official trips for the City of Birmingham, August 2011-July 2014:

  • Washington*: 16
  • Atlanta: 3
  • New Orleans: 3
  • New York: 2
  • Biloxi, Miss.: 1
  • Charlotte, N.C.: 1
  • Chicago: 1
  • Columbia, S.C.: 1
  • Denver: 1
  • Jacksonville, Fla.: 1
  • Las Vegas: 1
  • London: 1
  • Philadelphia: 1
  • Santa Monica, Calif.: 1
  • Tokyo: 1

*One trip combined with Baltimore, one with New York and one with New Orleans and Point Clear.

Al.com columnist John Archibald lists five other trips for Bell in that period. The City of Birmingham did not pay for these excursions:

  • Ferguson, Mo.
  • Geneva
  • Liverpool
  • Paris
  • Saudi Arabia

Mayor Bell has traveled out of state 42 times in 3 years. For comparison, President Obama has traveled out of country 37 times in 6 years.

Vote 2013: The combo platter

Birmingham mayoral candidates 2013

Birmingham mayoral candidates, from left:
Kamau Afrika, Pat Bell, William Bell,
Stephannie Huey and Adlai Trone.

Every 4 years, Birmingham has elections for city council. And for mayor, but not on the same cycle. And neither election coincided with state or national elections.

Vote 2013Because.

Tuesday marks a historic change, as both city council and mayoral races will be on the same ballot, along with the board of education races. In 2011, the elections aligned for the first time, though the mayoral term was for an abbreviated 2 years.

Baby steps.

Mayor: Incumbent William Bell, who won a special election in 2009 and then won re-election in 2011, runs for a full 4-year mayoral term against challengers Kamau Afrika, Pat Bell, Stephannie Huey and Adlai Trone.

For city council (by district):

  • 1: Pat Davis, Keith Rice, Lashunda Scales (I).
  • 2: Rolanda Hollis, Kim Rafferty (I), Richard Rutledge, Neil Shah, Bart Slawson, Everett Wess.
  • 4: Maxine Herring Parker (I), Edward Maddox.
  • 5: Johnathan Austin (I), Robert Walker.
  • 6: Keith Aaron, John “JC” Harris, Willis H. “Buddy” “Mickey Mouse” Hendrix, Latonya Millhouse, Michael R. Morrison, James Stewart, Sheila Tyson.
  • 7: Gary Bruce Lavender, Jay Roberson Jr. (I).
  • 8: Steven Hoyt (I), Gerri Robinson.
  • 9: Leroy Bandy, Angene Coleman, Eric Hall, Marcus Lundy, David Russell, Ellen H. Spencer.

I = incumbent

For board of education (by district):
  • 1: Tyrone Belcher (I), Sherman Collins Jr., Douglas Ragland, Jerry Tate.
  • 2: Virginia Volker (I), Lyord Watson.
  • 4: Daagye Hendricks, Rodney Huntley, Gwen Sykes.
  • 5: Martha Casey McDowell, Randall Woodfin.
  • 6: Lavon Beard, Gwendolyn Thomas Bell, Charie Gardner, Ervin Philemon Hill, Joy Smith.
  • 7: Wardine Alexander (I), Lawrence Jackson, Darius Moore.
  • 8: Patricia Bozeman-Henderson, April Williams (I), Antwon Womack.
  • 9: Sandra Brown, Emanuel Ford (I).

I = incumbent

Candidates in district 3 races are running unopposed.

In 2011, the districts were redrawn to reflect changes in population. This election represents the first year using the new boundaries.

New districts: Click on the map to determine district number.

The Birmingham municipal election takes place Tuesday. Runoffs take place Oct. 8.
