Trucking Owner Al Sommerville Runs for Tuscaloosa City Council Seat
What happened
Al Sommerville, who owns and operates AS3 Transportation, is running for a vacant seat on the Tuscaloosa City Council in a special election planned for December. Sommerville attended both Tuscaloosa County High School and the University of Alabama. He is seeking the seat left vacant by the death of Council President Kip Tyner.

Why it matters
Sommerville's business, AS3 Transportation, has contracted as freight has slowed, and he noted that fuel prices are affecting his operations. The late Council President was previously the driving force behind a $27 million reconstruction project on University Boulevard East.
