Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin was elected to another term Tuesday evening, taking in roughly 64% of the vote.

Jefferson County Commissioner Lashunda Scales trailed behind with around 21% of the vote and former Birmingham Mayor William Bell behind her with 9% of the vote.

But voter turnout remained low in this year’s election, with only 25% of active voters casting a ballot.

Woodfin plans to accomplish a variety of things as part of his ‘Vision 2025 Plan.’ Some of these include:

• Further expanding the Birmingham Promise Scholarship Initiative
• Expanding COVID-19 vaccination sites
• Implementing the City’s PEACE Strategy, a public health-based approach to preventing gun violence in Birmingham
• Launching “Operation Second Chance,” a program for Birmingham residents to expunge misdemeanors and select felonies from their criminal records
• Expand the city’s Pardons for Progress program
• Continuing the Birmingham Police Department’s policy of de-emphasizing marijuana possession cases so that minor marijuana possession cases no longer go before our municipal courts
• Working to clear any remaining backlog of untested rape kits in Birmingham
• Continuing efforts to revitalize Birmingham’s 99 neighborhoods.

Woodfin was first elected in 2017 after beating incumbent Mayor William Bell.
