The qualifying dead- line for Pickens County’s 2025 Munici- pal Elections has passed. The elections will be held August 26, 2025, for mayor and city council members in each town.

There will not be an election in Pickensville because no candidates are opposed.

In Carrollton, only the seat on the city council in District 4 will have a race. Briget Stanfill is running against incumbent Councilman Phillip Trull.

After serving over 20 years in the U.S. Army and more than 15 years at Cox Communications, I knew it was time to come back home, to serve the community where I come from. Together with Katie, a beloved face of Aliceville, who has dedicated years working with the public, we put our hearts and heads together and decided to open a place that would bring people together through good food and great service. That’s how Mac’s BBQ was born, and the rest is history. We’ve proudly been in business for six years now, and every day is a blessing.
