Harry “Traveling Shoes” Turner is one of 14 candidates running for Birmingham’s mayor. He is a minister. A clown. A chaplain for the police department. And he works for the postal service. He has been preaching since he was 12, when he accidentally shot his foot with his mom’s gun.

If elected, Harry has pledged to remove the mayor’s chair in the city council chamber and stand up for the first city council meeting to demonstrate that he is standing up for the people. I’m not sure if Harry knows that some of these council meetings last for many, many hours.

Harry also is extremely concerned about the 20 million budget deficit. He said you can’t drive 20 blocks without needing a wheel alignment. You can’t take the trash out without stray dogs chasing you back in the house. Every 5 blocks, a city bus breaks down.

With 14 candidates running for mayor, it’s hard for Festville to examine all of them. The election is December 8th and a likely runoff will be held January 19th. Vote for Harry.
