Becky Holt, a local nonprofit executive, has launched her campaign for the place four seat on the Mountain Brook city council.

Holt’s campaign platform focuses on supporting first responders and ensuring neighborhoods remain secure, maintaining and improving parks, fields, and community facilities and collaborating with education leaders to support student success.

Holt is seeking to fill the seat currently held by Council President Virginia Smith, who is not seeking re-election. The Mountain Brook municipal election will be held on Aug. 26.

“As a mom, a neighbor and someone deeply invested in this community, I care about keeping Mountain Brook a safe, welcoming, and vibrant place to raise a family,” Holt said in a statement.

“I’m running to ensure we continue the strong work ethic and trusted leadership our city expects — while focusing on the things that matter most to our residents.”

Holt is the executive director of ALL IN Mountain Brook, a nonprofit working to support residents’ mental health, safety and well-being. She serves on the city’s Board of Zoning Adjustment, was previously on the O’Neal Library Board and held executive roles in the Junior League of Birmingham.

Smith has endorsed Holt’s run.

“Becky has spent years investing in the well-being of our community, most notably as Executive Director of All In Mountain Brook. She has worked tirelessly to support our families, strengthen public safety and promote the kind of thoughtful engagement that makes Mountain Brook such a special place to call home,” Smith said in a statement.

For nearly two decades, Holt worked as a speech-language pathologist, clinical educator and health systems organizer.

Holt and her husband, Tyler, live in Mountain Brook with their children, Jonathan and Maggie, who attend local schools.

“I want to follow the example of leaders like Virginia Smith and Stewart Welch to help protect what makes Mountain Brook so special,” Holt said in a statement. “This campaign is about service, trust and getting the job done.”
