Greetings, I’m ADLAI TRONE, your candidate for Mayor of the City of Birmingham. I’m a devoted educator, an advocate of peace, and a firm believer in hard work. I am a product of the Ensley community, having attended Glenn Middle School and a portion of my high school years at Ensley High School. Upon graduating from Hewitt Trussville, I attended Auburn University where I played football for the Tigers and obtained a Bachelors degree in Finance and a Masters in Business Administration.
Citizens of Birmingham, now is the time to embrace change. We have a faltering school system, declining communities littered by vacant housing, and a local government that’s at odds. Also, we are faced with inadequate health care for our citizens and a city of troubled youth longing for guidance and leadership, and a whole laundry list of other issues that are plaguing our City. Where has the magic gone? How did this happen? Who was in charge?
A city reflects the character and capabilities of its leader, it’s only as good as its leadership. As your mayor, your leader, I plan on embracing six proven principles to revitalize our city and bring the magic back to Birmingham… We are the Magic City! And I believe we can bring the vitality, the energy, the honor and the pride back to Birmingham. The foundation and stability of any city is Peace- peace in our government and peace on our streets, in our schools, and in our neighborhoods. I understand the importance of a quality education. I believe that education is the key to a prosperous city! As mayor, I will stand behind our schools to ensure that our youth have access to a safe, quality education. I will allocate the appropriate funding needed to help stabilize and improve our schools. Order is required to properly implement any plan to bring our city into the new millennium. Teamwork and collaboration among the mayor, the city council and neighborhood leaders is a must. As I stated before, leadership sets the tone for the city. As your leader, I will put the people of Birmingham first, by investing in our employees, small businesses, and back into our neighborhoods. Entrepreneurship, I believe, is needed to support growth and the long-term stability of the city’s economy. As mayor, I will encourage entrepreneurship within our city. I believe that to grow and prosper, we must create an environment where entrepreneurship can thrive. It encourages creativity, a sense of belonging, and supports the economy.
Birmingham, I can’t do this alone. I need your support on Tuesday, August 27th. As mayor, I promise to put the people of Birmingham first… I promise to make Peace, Education, Order, Prosperity, Leadership and Entrepreneurship my priorities. Because, it’s the P.E.O.P.L.E that make the magic happen, in our city, Birmingham, the Magic City!
