18-Year-Old High School Graduate Announces Mayoral Bid in Fairfield, Alabama

Brandon Moss, an 18-year-old recent high school graduate, has announced his historic bid to become the youngest mayor of Fairfield, Alabama, a city of about 9,500 people. Motivated by his love for the city and a desire to address local issues such as business development and community blight, Moss emphasizes bringing a new vision and fresh perspective to the mayoral office. He plans to focus on financial oversight by introducing a forensic auditor and supporting local small businesses through pop-up events. Moss has political experience through youth government programs and cites Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin and current President Barack Obama as his role models. Despite his youth, Moss is preparing to balance his college education at the University of Alabama at Birmingham with mayoral duties, supported by a team of mentors. The mayoral election in Fairfield is scheduled for August 26.
