Mountain Brook City Councilor Gerald Garner is running for re-election to his council seat.
Garner has served on the council since November of 2020 after beating out incumbent Philip Black for the seat in the August election.
"I fully intend to seek re-election to the Mountain Brook City Council. I love this community, and I’m proud of the thoughtful, forward-looking work we’re doing to support our residents and strengthen every corner of our City," Garner said. "Supporting our exceptional city departments and employees, tackling tough issues head-on and helping shape a vision for Mountain Brook’s future is work I take seriously—and personally. Serving is not easy—it takes time, energy, and a willingness to make hard choices—but every second is worth it to help make Mountain Brook the best it can be. I’m committed, experienced and as energized as ever to keep working hard for this city I care so deeply about."
Garner is currently running uncontested, and the election is set for Aug. 26.
