In his role as a city councilman in Mobile, and then as County Commissioner, Stephen Nodine has stood for conservative values, fought for common sense solutions to tough challenges and worked to implement a clear vision for more jobs, better roads, more parks and green space, safer communities and a brighter future.

Commissioner Nodine has been a staunch supporter of capital improvement projects, lobbying for and directing funding for over 300 million dollars in new road projects in Mobile County.

Parks and green space are essential to the quality of life for residents of Mobile County, and Commissioner Nodine continues to fulfill his commitments to rebuild and create new parks. Commissioner Nodine unveiled a new library in Semmes and renovations to the Boys and Girls Club.

Nodine has made economic development and job creation a top priority of his tenure as county commissioner. He was instrumental in securing the project to build the new RSA Tower in Mobile and the new ThyssenKrupp Steel tplant that will employ 2,700 citizens.  He led the charge to bring to Mobile the KC-30 Tanker, a joint project from Northrop Grumman and EADS, and one of the largest economic development projects the County has been involved in. From the relocation of International Shipholding Corporation's corporate headquarters to Mobile, to the expansion of Austal's shipbuilding capacity, Commissioner Nodine supports the creation of new jobs and wealth in Mobile County by providing the means for companies to grow and expand.
