Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin has raised more than $1 million towards his re-election over the past five months, according to a recent campaign finance report.
Woodfin, who formally launched his bid for a second term during a rally on Saturday, has so far raised $1,003,783, according to the report. Of that amount, the mayor raised $253,941 in January from more than 500 people who donated in amounts ranging from $25,000 to $1.
The next scheduled election for Birmingham mayor is Tuesday, August 24, with a runoff, if needed, on Oct. 5. Challengers for the seat are beginning to line up. Last month, Birmingham businessman Chris Woods and Jefferson County Commissioner Lashunda Scales announced they were planning to run. Former Birmingham Mayor William Bell is likely to announce soon and Birmingham City Councilor Steven Hoyt has also said he plans to run.
