Police Chief Kevin Murphy Considering a Run for Mayor
Montgomery Police Chief Kevin Murphy tells Alabama News Network that he is considering a run for Mayor. It’s the first time Murphy has said this since he announced his forced retirement. Murphy says he’s worked in the public sector for 30 years and wants to continue doing so. He tells us although he will soon retire from the Montgomery Police Department, he wants to stay in Montgomery. Murphy appears to have a lot of support. Facebook pages titled “Draft Kevin Murphy for  Mayor” and “Impeach Mayor Todd Strange” have recently popped up. And some Montgomery residents tell us they want Murphy to run.
“He probably doesn’t remember me but I knew him when I worked at Burger King on Madison. He and his brother used to come in on motorcycles on their coffee breaks and they were good guys.” says Montgomery resident Kimberly Gunn.
