5/1/2107 Group Watch: Governor’s Race Growing
Tuscaloosa Mayor Walt Maddox is considering a run for Alabama governor. That’s the word after Maddox commented on a recent radio show that “It is too early to tell.” Maddox, who often re-tweets people suggesting he should run for governor, said he and his family will consider those factors and said he appreciates the support he’s already received from citizens. Maddox, who has been mayor since 2005, was re-elected to a fourth term during an election in March by defeating his challenger in a landslide. He has been praised for his economic development work and his handling of the aftermath of the deadly 2011 tornadoes that hit Tuscaloosa.
