J.T. Smallwood is running for mayor of Trussville on a platform of “Moving Trussville Forward"; however, records from the Alabama Department of Examiners of Public Accounts show that Smallwood has had little success in moving the tax collector's office forward, citing his office for “noncompliance with state and local laws and regulations."

The Trussville Tribune continued its live-streamed candidate forums on Wednesday evening with the final one for the City of Clay.

Municipal elections in Alabama are nonpartisan. Some candidates make it easier than others to determine their political affiliation, while others subtly change their messaging and priorities to make it less than clear. This is true of JT Smallwood, candidate for Trusville mayor.
