JACKSON COUNTY, Ala. — The City of Scottsboro wanted change as was evident by the votes. Jim McCamy defeated incumbent mayor Robin Shelton by over 200 votes. McCamy campaigned on the need for long term planning and bringing businesses to Scottsboro. In an interview with The Jackson Blaze, Mr. McCamy stated, “The first thing we have do is start making Scottsboro business friendly and have plans in place for long term growth.” Along with the mayor’s race, Ralph Dawe, former police chief, defeated incumbent Greg Mashburn. Dawe said in his interview that he listened to the citizens of Scottsboro and he is ready to get to work to move Scottsboro forward. Patrick Steward and Nita Tolliver will be in a runoff in 4 weeks.
