A Better Irondale Starts Now

I'm Ken Effinger.

A long-time Irondale resident, businessman, and candidate for Mayor. Irondale is full of promise — but right now, that promise is being held back by wasteful spending, growing debt, and decisions that ignore the will of the people. That ends now.

I’m running because I’m deeply concerned about the direction our city is headed — and I believe it’s time to return Irondale to the people. Over the past four years, Irondale’s debt has more than doubled to $114 million — that’s $8,500 for every resident, the highest per capita debt of any city in Alabama, and more than $4,000 above the national average.
