Mobile is 50% black, 45% white, comparable to BR.

He defeated a black candidate who ran purely on race politics a la Broome.

Mobile has attracted new industry over the last few years including assembly plant for the Airbus A320 family.

BR and NOLA so fricked

Great city. Blacks there don't feel perpetually aggrieved.

Mainly because jones has already been mayor here before and proved to be incompetent. He also had zero money to campaign with.

I'm excited about what Stimpson has done for mobile so far. Now hopefully he can get a handle on the city council and crime.

EBR is 49.5% white, 45.9% black, and the rest other.

And we were about a titty whisker away from having a white republican mayor despite the white republican candidate being pretty terrible.

What makes you think Nola residents want a white republican mayor?

The one we have campaigning may be more of a nut job than our current president. The spacewalk guy...

To be fair, Simpson never really labels himself a republican. He's a good seeming dude.
Amazon has chosen Mobile Gibbs a shipping hub of theirs. Big things going on in Mobile. Another auto plant is rumored to be heading this way as well.
