Bill Morris, a longtime public servant and community leader, officially announced Thursday his candidacy for Alabama House District 50, pledging to bring decades of local government experience and a deep commitment to St. Clair County to the state legislature.
Morris, a lifetime resident of the area, served as the mayor of the City of Moody from August 1992 until August 2003, where he led the city through a period of steady growth and infrastructure improvement. Since August 2003, he has served as the general manager of the Leeds Water Works, overseeing day-to-day operations. Morris also currently serves on the St. Clair County Board of Education, where he said he continues to advocate for strong schools and student success. He was also recently appointed to the newly created Central Alabama Water Board by Lt. Governor Will Ainsworth.
“I’ve spent my life working to make our communities better, safer, and more prosperous,” said Morris. “Now, I want to take that experience and dedication to Montgomery to serve the people of District 50 and help improve the lives of families across St. Clair County.”
Morris said his campaign will focus on three key priorities: supporting law enforcement, investing in workforce development and strengthening education.
“If elected, I will fight to ensure our schools have the resources they need, expand job training and career opportunities for our workforce, and always stand behind the men and women who protect and serve our communities,” said Morris.
House District 50 covers a significant portion of St. Clair County, a rapidly growing area in central Alabama. “With a reputation for practical leadership and deep local roots, Morris aims to bring a steady, experienced voice to the Alabama House of Representatives,” Morris’ release shared.
Morris serves on the State Executive Republican Committee for St. Clair County and was appointed to the St. Clair County Sheriff’s Foundation by Sheriff Billy Murray. He also served as the county coordinator in St. Clair County for Governor Kay Ivey’s gubernatorial campaign in 2018.
