 RECOGNIZING THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF MAYOR WILLIAM S. ``SANDY'' STIMPSON

                                 ______

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 17, 2025

  Mr. MOORE of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to recognize the 
remarkable accomplishments of Mayor William S. ``Sandy'' Stimpson, 
108th Mayor of the City of Mobile, Alabama. Since his election in 2013, 
Mayor Stimpson has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to public 
service, fiscal responsibility, and the shared vision of building 
Mobile into a city that is safer, more business-friendly, and more 
family-friendly for all.
  Under his leadership, Mobile has achieved major financial reform, 
including reducing their bonded debt by nearly $210 million and their 
unfunded liabilities by more than $200 million. These reforms led to 
multiple credit rating upgrades and allowed for significant investments 
to improve public safety, infrastructure, and city personnel.
  Mayor Stimpson has also championed long-term improvements, including 
modernizing the city's zoning code and launching a nationally 
recognized urban blight reduction program. As a founding member and 
chairman of the Alabama Big 10 Mayor Association, his influence extends 
beyond Mobile, strengthening the voice of Alabama's cities across the 
state.
  On behalf of the people of Alabama, I want to thank Mayor Stimpson 
for his leadership and deep commitment to public service. Through his 
work, every Mobilian has been empowered to have a voice and a seat at 
the table in shaping a better future for their city.
