| Description | A campaign push to re-elect recently-deceased Mobile City Councilman Levon Manzie sparked an investigation from WKRG News 5 to look into why.
The push to get late councilman Levon Manzie re-elected is continuing after death. It includes an ill-fated effort to appoint his mother to his seat and a mail campaign funded by a mysterious group outside Mobile.
A special election would be called if Manzie won this runoff, and with annexation looming, Manzie’s loss means the city loses a for-sure vote for annexation. Many in District 2 received these flyers this week from a political action committee pushing for his re-election, and as WKRG News 5 found out, this group is based out of Auburn — more than 200 miles away. |
