Voters re-elected Mayor Sandy Stimpson with 62 percent of the votes on Tuesday.
Mayor Sandy Stimpson held a watch party at Crown Hall in downtown Mobile.
The room was filled with excitement when the numbers came in showing Mayor Stimpson as the projected winner.
Mayor Stimpson’s campaign slogan this year was “Not Done Yet” and the City of Mobile seems to agree.
Stimpson said he’s probably going to take a day off tomorrow and then get right back to work on a lot of the projects he promised, including infrastructure projects, annexation and allocating American Rescue Plan funds.
While he thanked his supporters and staff, Mayor Stimpson also wanted the people who didn’t vote for him to know he’s going to work for them too.
“I’m the mayor of everybody in the City of Mobile; no matter where you live, or what you look like or what your party affiliation is. And we work hard at that. In the last eight years, I don’t think I’ve engaged in a single philosophical conversation that would be divisive from the standpoint of party politics and that is intentional because some of those things you can’t change people’s minds. And you’re trying to focus on the things that are broken in the City of Mobile that you can fix and do a better job at. So we stay focused on that, that’s when I think some of those who are skeptical and may have voted for somebody else, they realize I can support Mayor Stimpson in this endeavor or these endeavors and that’s what we hope for,” Stimpson said.
Stimpson said he is ready to get to work and hopes to meet with new city council members so they can all work together for the citizens of Mobile.
