On Tuesday, August 26, 2025, there will be City Council elections in Mobile, Muscle Shoals, and Pelham, Alabama.

It is the Southeastern Carpenters Regional Council's policy, along with Alabama Carpenter Locals 318 and 1209, and Millwright Local 1192, to support ANY candidate who supports Carpenter and Millwright family issues. This policy has yielded positive results supporting both Republicans and Democrats, continues today, and is reflective of our members. The SECRC, Carpenters Locals 318 and 1209, and Millwright Local 1192, participated in candidate interviews in the upcoming Mobile, Muscle Shoals, and Pelham City Council elections.

The candidates listed below support workers’ rights, agree with us on addressing TAX FRAUD through MISCLASSIFICATION OF WORKERS, and support certified, registered apprenticeship language in future public capital projects.
