Our city is built on its people. Together we can Believe in Better — a transparent, accountable city hall that serves every resident of southeast Huntsville, from Redstone Arsenal to the top of Green Mountain.
A concrete plan to move our community forward through common-sense leadership and neighborhood-first policies.
Protecting our unique landscape with a slope ordinance that finally has teeth, and flood-mitigation planning that safeguards the homes downhill — because when a mountainside fails, the whole neighborhood pays.
The Slope Ordinance plan →Slowing traffic on our long arterials with smart engineering — signal timing, feedback signs, and road design that enforces itself — instead of speed traps and camera tickets.
Safer streets, done right →A council seat that answers to residents: regular town halls in the district, plain-language reporting on what the city spends, and a direct line for the concerns on your street.
How it works →Alabama caps the fine for destroying a protected hillside at $500 — a number set in 1975 and never updated. For the developers clear-cutting our mountains, that's not a penalty; it's a line item. John wrote the fix: a state bill raising the cap to match the damage, and he's recruiting a sponsor to carry it in Montgomery.
Safer Streets
Roads that enforce their own speed limit.
Long, wide arterials like Bailey Cove invite speeds the posted limit can't control. The answer isn't more radar traps or camera tickets — it's engineering that makes the safe speed the natural speed:
Meet Your Neighbor
Huntsville native. District 3 for most of his life.
John Stuart grew up here, raised two kids here, and is a network engineer with nearly two decades in Huntsville's defense industry. He's coached the ball teams, run the softball program at Fern Bell Park, and cares for his 92-year-old mother. He's the neighbor who actually reads the zoning agenda — and when he saw a 51-year-old state law letting developers treat our hillsides as disposable, he didn't write a complaint. He wrote a bill.
John is direct, and he doesn't suffer fools — when something's broken he says so plainly, and then he gets to work on the fix. That's the voice District 3 deserves on the council.

District 3 covers southeast Huntsville — the Bailey Cove and Weatherly corridors, Mountain Gap, and the Green Mountain communities. It's the side of town where the mountain meets the neighborhoods, and it deserves a council member who treats both with respect.
