The Mayor of Tuscaloosa is elected by the city at-large and serves four-year terms. The mayor is not term-limited and is bipartisan. Tuscaloosa is Alabama's fifth-largest city, and was incorporated on December 13, 1819, making it one day older than the state itself.
The mayor administers the day-to-day operations of the city, including overseeing the various city departments, over whom he has hiring and firing power. The mayor also acts as ambassador of the city. The mayor sits in city council meetings and has a tie-breaking vote.
