Prichard Municipal Elections set for Tuesday

The municipal election for the City of Prichard is set for Tuesday August 26th. This is a hotly contested race with the incumbent Ron Davis. Ron Davis has drawn three other contestants including the former mayor Charles Harden, Howard Porter former chief of staff of former mayor Jessie Norwood and Mr. Paul Smith a Prichard Businessman.

Look for the vote to be heavyly split, and giving Harden and Porter a lead over Davis. It looks like Mr. Davis first and only term maybe coming to an end Tuesday, as the citizens of Prichard is hungry for change and a new look.

A breakdown of Tuesday's vote. Mr. Davis is looking to do well and capture a high percentage of vote from the Eight Mile community of Prichard and do poor in the inter-city area of Prichard. Mr. Harden is looking to do well in the inter-city of Prichard and split the inter-city vote with Mr. Porter who is expected to cut into Mayor Davis territory of Eight mile at a small percentage. Mr. Paul Smith is looking to do well at the Old Blount High School precent on Tuesday, but is not expecting a big win or runoff.

A run-off is expected in this race for the Mayor of Prichard, but whom will it be?
Harden & Porter?
Harden & Davis?
Porter & Davis?
