VOTE! Special Election on Tuesday, July 18th

/ hivealabama

We hope you will join us in voting on Tuesday, July 18th for David Silverstein!

This is a non-partisan race for Jefferson County Commission District 5 that includes Mountain Brook, Vestavia, Irondale and large parts of Homewood, Hoover and Leeds:

We need your vote! Per our friends in the Hoover Democrats:

Republican Steve Ammons resigned from the Jefferson County Commission leaving two Republicans and two Democrats on the commission. We have a rare opportunity to change the make-up of the commission by voting for our favored candidate, David Silverstein. (Please note that this is a non-partisan election, and David is not identifying with either party.)

David is a highly qualified candidate! The District 5 Commissioner is responsible for the Economic Development subcommittee of the County Commission, and David has over 25 years of experience and a proven record of success. He has directed development efforts, secured financing, and navigated complex zoning and ordinance requirements. His projects, like The Summit, The Pizitz, and Cahaba Village, have transformed our communities for the better.

David has served as president of the Alabama Chapters of the American Heart Association and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, and he currently sits on the board of directors for Ascension Alabama, the Red Mountain Theater Company and the Alabama Holocaust Education Center.

Please make a plan to vote and share this information with friends/neighbors/colleagues. This is an important seat and one we can win!
