Description

After twelve transformative years leading the City of Mobile, retired Mayor Sandy Stimpson joined Sean Sullivan on Midday Mobile to look back on what he calls both a calling and a team effort.



From tackling a $315 million debt to reshaping the city’s financial foundation, Stimpson described how business discipline and faith guided every decision. “I didn’t want to get to heaven and have God say, ‘Sandy, I kept sending you a message,’” he said, explaining what inspired him to run for office in his 50s.



He discussed how Mobile became safer and more family-friendly, the city’s annexation successes, ongoing infrastructure work (including those notorious tree-rooted sidewalks), and the balance between fiscal responsibility and livability.



Looking ahead, Stimpson predicts a bright future—new airport, expanded port, vibrant greenways—but cautions that housing and infrastructure must keep pace with growth.



Catch this candid, insightful farewell conversation on Midday Mobile—and hear why Stimpson’s legacy will continue to shape Mobile for years to come.
