In summation, four of the seven seats on the Tuscaloosa City Council will see incumbents challenged, while Districts 1 and 3 will see a new face sworn in. District 4 Councilor Lee Busby is the only incumbent on the council who did not have a candidate qualify to challenge him on the ballot.
As qualifying for Tuscaloosa’s municipal elections draws to a close, a third candidate has emerged seeking the mayoral seat.
Serena Fortenberry is a University of Alabama professor who became active in local politics in 2017, when she publicly opposed a rezoning that would have allowed a fast- food restaurant to open just blocks from her west Tuscaloosa home.
Now, she has gone from concerned resident to just the third woman to launch a concerted bid for the Tuscaloosa mayor’s seat since the 1970s.
Judy Moody launched an unsuccessful bid for the seat in 1976 following the death of longtime mayor Snow Hinton. Moody made it to a runoff out of 20 candidates before losing to eventual mayor Ernest “Rainy” Collins, who went on to secure a full, four-year term the following year.
