“I’m excited to continue my work to grow the economy,” Segraves stated. “I’ve dedicated my career to attracting investment, and I will keep advocating for good-paying jobs and economic development across Marion, Lamar counties, and Haleyville.”
Having served five terms as mayor of Guin, Segraves has built a solid political foundation beginning on the Guin City Council.
