Mayor Ronald K. Davis

Ron Davis was elected Mayor of the City of Prichard Alabama in October, 2004. Since then, he has earned a
distinguished reputation for innovative leadership, and making a better quality of life for the citizens of the City of Prichard by creating programs for a cleaner and safer environment. He has also solved or implemented actions for a variety of other internal and external challenges facing the City of Prichard.

Immediately the progress began. Mayor Davis working with the City Council and other leaders in the community began the journey of change starting from the ground up. Changing the garbage collection services for the citizens and adjusting the plan into a new program that is best for the City and the citizens of Prichard. His vision was to achieve the unachievable. He has and he is continuing to face old and new challenges with solutions. He accelerated existing programs and pushed for new common-sense approaches that resulted in the City coming out of bankruptcy a year earlier, and by recruiting leaders to implement and develop programs, like the Riding Dirty, Weed and Seed programs, and Operation Roll Call. These programs are cleaning the streets and taking care of the citizens.

He has taken step to solve complex issues and problems for the city of Prichard. Bringing in new business: Fed Ex, Texaco, and working with the Alabama Motorsports Park to bring entertainment for the entire family as well as jobs for our citizens and commerce for our existing businesses including the City of Prichard as part of the International Trade Zone.

As Mayor, Davis has kept to his vision of revitalizing a once great city. Many streets have been paved, downtown Prichard has been given a facelift, with sunlight pouring
over the freshly painted building and a new season has started for Prichard.

He is a board member of the Mobile Area Education Foundation, he serves as a member of the advisory board of the Women's Federated Club. But it doesn't stop there. Mayor Davis understands that in order for Prichard to continue to succeed and grow, he will need to actively pursue the knowledge from other leaders of successful cities. This has led him to become part of a larger group of leaders, he was voted as Interim President for the World Conference of Mayor's, he is a board member of the National Conference of Black Mayors and the recipient of the Valiant Award.
