Brian Gunn Surges in Birmingham City Council District 4 Race
“What sets our campaign apart is the energy and commitment of the people of District 4”—Brian Gunn
With Election Day just days away on Tuesday, August 26, 2025, Brian Gunn’s campaign for Birmingham City Council District 4 is gaining strong momentum. He leads in fundraising, volunteer effort, and endorsements, positioning himself as the front-runner in a competitive field.
According to the latest reports, Gunn has raised $23,908.35—leaving incumbent J.T. Moore trailing with $6,422.20 in reported contributions. Meanwhile, opponents Joseph Holt and Darryl Williams have yet to file any campaign receipts or establish official committees.
But, the campaign’s strength isn’t measured in dollars alone. Gunn’s team has knocked on more than 5,000 doors and made contact with 6,877 voters by phone. This hands-on effort speaks to a campaign powered by genuine energy and a commitment to community engagement.
“What sets our campaign apart is the energy and commitment of the people of District 4,” Gunn said in a statement. “We’re showing up at doors, on the phones, and in the community every day because this race is about delivering results for our neighborhoods.”
He adds: “This campaign is proof of what happens when neighbors, unions, community leaders, and advocates all come together with a shared vision. The support we’ve received is humbling, and it’s clear District 4 is ready for new leadership that shows up, listens, and delivers.”
Gunn has earned endorsements from a wide coalition that spans local, state, and national levels, including:
- Alabama College Democrats
- Alabama Young Democrats
- Birmingham Young Democrats
- For the Future Victory Fund
- Communications Workers of America Local 3902
- Moms Demand Action (Gun Sense Candidate)
- Progressive Change Campaign Committee
- Alabama Cannabis Coalition
- Birmingham Realtors Association
- Central Alabama Labor Federation – AFL-CIO
- IBEW Local 136
- Jefferson County Progressive Democratic Council
- Annie Ruth Broughton Gunn (widow of a respected former District 4 leader)
Annie Ruth Broughton Gunn’s endorsement carries deep meaning in District 4. “I’m supporting Brian Gunn — please join me,” she urged voters, calling on them to “Let him win this election for all of us.” Gunn thanked her, calling her support “an incredible honor,” and vowing to continue the legacy of leadership represented by her late husband.
Gunn’s campaign focuses on community-led change—public safety, better lighting, mental health resources, youth services, affordable housing, and neighborhood revitalization. As a Planning Commission member and long-time community advocate, he highlights a proven track record on local development.
Election Day is Tuesday, August 26, 2025. Gunn is facing incumbent J.T Moore, Joseph Holt and Darryl Williams in the District 4 race.
