Special to the Reporter

Ray Kennamer is proud to officially announce his candidacy for Albertville city council, place 4. A long-time resident of Albertville, Kennamer is running with a clear vision: to help our city continue growing in a way that makes it the kind of place where you want to raise your children, and where they’ll want to raise theirs.

With deep roots in the community and years of proven leadership Kennamer is passionate about moving Albertville forward while preserving the values that make it feel like home. He believes in building a city that thrives today and is prepared for tomorrow, a place where opportunity, safety and community pride are passed from one generation to the next.

“Our city is growing, and that’s exciting. But growth without purpose can cost us the very things that make Albertville special,” said Kennamer. “I’m committed to leading with wisdom, unity, and forward thinking so Albertville remains a place we’re proud to call home-for our children, and for theirs.”

Ray’s priorities include supporting smart development, investing in reliable infrastructure, and strengthening the sense of connection and collaboration that brings residents together. His focus is on inclusive leadership-working hand in hand with the people of Albertville to ensure the decisions being made reflect the needs, values, and hopes of the entire community.

Ray is a man of faith, a dedicated husband and father, and someone who has never forgotten where he comes from-or where Albertville can go next. His campaign is grounded in the belief that strong communities are built through trust, partnership, and shared purpose. His vision is clear: Building Albertville Together.
