Alabama Runoffs Reset City Halls: Dollar Re-Elected in Guntersville as Jolly Ousts Moulton Mayor

Some tallies remain unofficial, with Moulton scheduling a second District 1 runoff.

Overview

  • Voters across North and Central Alabama decided multiple municipal races in Sept. 23 runoffs after no candidate cleared 50% in August.
  • Guntersville Mayor Leigh Dollar retained her seat with 1,710 votes (58.3%) to Jeff McLaughlin’s 1,221, with turnout roughly 800 higher than last month.
  • In Moulton, challenger Ryan Jolly defeated incumbent Roger Weatherwax 384–274, according to unofficial returns reported by News 19.
  • Moulton’s three-way District 1 contest produced no majority, and the city says a follow-up runoff is planned likely between Danny Morris and Raegen Eaves.
  • Hoover finalized two council contests, with Gene Smith winning Place 2 and Ashley Lovell taking Place 3, according to the city.
