Tiffany Gibson-Pitts announced Friday that she is seeking election as mayor of Opelika.
Gibson-Pitts is a native of Opelika. She received a bachelor’s degree from Jacksonville State University in Criminal Justice with a concentration in juvenile delinquency and both a master’s degree and an educational specialist degree in School Counseling and Counseling Supervision from Auburn University.

She was not born with a silver spoon in her mouth and she understands the restrictions residents have on them due to financial difficulties, but she also understands how, as a community, people can pull themselves out of despair and build the community into one that everyone is proud of.
She plans on taking Opelika forward by focusing on:
• Affordable Housing
• Small Business Development and
• Creating a more inclusive community.
