The
Political Beacon recently conducted a poll from August 13-18, 2012 of 327
registered voters in the City of Prichard. This is one of the closely watched
races in our Mobile County municipal races, so I decided to do an independent
poll on the race.
In
the recent poll conducted by the Political Beacon we asked likely voters if the
election were held today who would they vote for as the next Mayor of Prichard?
Results:
Troy
Ephraim: 28%
Ron
Davis 26%
Charles
Harden 18%
Campbell
Morris 13%
Fox
Bettis 9%
Undecided
or not supporting a candidate 6%
It’s
clear that the voters want new leadership and a new direction for the City of
Prichard; and the incumbent Ron Davis would be forced into a run-off with
Councilman Troy Ephraim to make the case to Prichard voters.
Troy
Ephraim received most of the votes in the poll coming out on top with 28%.
Charles Harden a distance third with 18%, community activist Severia Campbell
Morris coming in with 13% and placing last was Fox Bettis with 9%.
The
City of Prichard has been facing a number of issues from high water and sewer
rates, crime, infrastructure, and a lack of sufficient tax revenue
The
citizens of Prichard will have a chance to vote on their next choice of
leadership Tuesday, August 28, 2012. Polls will open at 7am until 7pm.
