By 10 a.m. Tuesday morning, a line of people began to circle the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex awaiting the arrival of U.S. Senate candidate Doug Jones and his noteworthy endorser, former Vice President Joe Biden, for a rally supporting the Democrat and his bid for election. Only 1,000 rally-goers were allowed into the cozy venue to hear Biden vouch for Jones, though many others flooded to the venue for their chance to see the duo.

In Birmingham, we make history. Everyday people in our city are called to pursue extraordinary feats for the sake of something greater than themselves. You and I call this place home, but around the world, Birmingham is synonymous with progress and change.

William A. Bell, Mayor

The City of Birmingham has experienced a renaissance like no other under my administration, but what I have found is that the change is so widespread that many do not remember the Birmingham of 7 years ago, before I took office. My immediate plan 7 years ago was to stabilize the City’s finances, change the image of the City in the national headlines and attract amenities and jobs to the City to allow us to push more money into our neighborhoods.
