Nationwide — Brandon Moss, an 18-year-old African American teen from Fairfield, Alabama, who just recently graduated from high school, is now running for mayor of his hometown. He aims to fix the city’s finances, attract businesses, and improve local infrastructure.

According to ABC News, Moss, a recent Ramsay High School graduate and lifelong Fairfield resident, recently announced his candidacy for mayor. With the current mayor not running again, Moss hopes to bring fresh ideas and new energy to the job.

“Fairfield is my home, and I’m running for mayor because I love this city, and I believe in its future,” Moss said.

Despite his age, Moss says he’s not new to leadership. Over the past four years, he’s worked with state and local politicians and served as executive assistant to the superintendent of Birmingham City Schools. He believes that hands-on experience has prepared him for public office.

His main focus is fixing the city’s financial troubles. He also wants to bring more businesses to Fairfield and improve roads and public services. He also plans to address blight in struggling neighborhoods.
