Ed Grimes to Become New Montgomery City Council Member after Donnie Mims Drops Out of Runoff

Alabama News Ed Grimes – Photo from Campaign Facebook page Ed Grimes will become a Montgomery City Council member, representing District 1, after his opponent dropped out of next month’s scheduled runoff. Grimes had received 49% of the vote in last week’s special election, which was just short of the amount needed to avoid a runoff with second-place finisher Donnie Mims, who got 21%. This morning, Mims announced that he would end his campaign so that Grimes could take the seat. “…After a lot of prayer and conversation with my family, I believe that it is best for District 1 and for Montgomery as a whole for me to withdraw from this race and to spare the district the time and expense of a runoff election. It will benefit District 1 to have a council representative immediately rather than to wait for a runoff election. I wish Mr. Grimes the best and trust that he will be a positive presence on the Montgomery City Council,” Mims said.
