Jerimy Littlepage (Nonpartisan)
Birmingham’s working people deserve more than survival. They deserve opportunity. As mayor, I will prioritize bringing good paying, skilled jobs to our city by partnering with local businesses, investing in job training programs, and supporting small business growth. We need to rebuild Birmingham’s economy from the ground up, starting with the people who keep it running every day. My mission is to make sure no one is left behind. Every resident should have a clear path to work, dignity, and a better future.
Every resident of Birmingham deserves to feel safe in their neighborhood. Whether they’re walking to work, sending their kids to school, or simply sitting on their front porch. As mayor, I will work to reduce crime by investing in community policing, youth programs, and mental health support. Real safety in Birmingham is investing in our young people leading to steering them away from violence. A safer Birmingham starts with leadership that listens, acts, and cares and that’s exactly what I’ll bring.
