Welcome to www.meltonpotter.com

For those of you who haven’t heard yet, I am seeking the office of mayor in the City of Scottsboro, Alabama. As a life-long resident of this wonderful city, I can think of no greater honor than serving those of you who call this place home.

Please allow me to give you a brief introduction of myself.  

I am 49 years-old. I graduated from Scottsboro High School. I have been married for 25 years to the former Kathy Johnston, also of Scottsboro. We have one daughter, Breanna.

I currently serve the residents of this city as fire chief. I have worked within the Scottsboro Fire Department continually since 1987. In 1991 I was promoted to fire inspector/investigator; in 1998 was promoted to assistant fire chief; and in 2001 I was appointed fire chief.

I am often asked why I want to run for mayor.

 My reply is simple. I think the office of mayor is the best place to apply my administrative experience. It is a place where positive changes can affect many. It is an office where I can continue to serve the residents of my hometown.

Thank you for visiting www.meltonpotter.com. Please feel free to browse all sections of this site.
