June 9, 2020
Ben Boutwell resigned from the Century Town Council Monday and qualified to run for mayor. Henry Hawkins, the incumbent mayor, prefiled Monday to seek reelection.
Under Century’s charter, the existing council is responsible for filling the immediate vacancy on the council until a successor is elected. Candidate qualifying is currently underway for state and local offices, including the Town of Century. Anyone wishing to run for the vacant Seat 3 must qualify no later than noon on Friday, June 12. The office of mayor and council seats 1 and 2 are also on the ballot.
Candidates may qualify at the Escambia County Supervisor of Elections office in Pensacola during regular business hours, until qualifying closes at noon on Friday. In addition, a member of the supervisor of elections staff will be at Century Town Hall on Wednesday, June 10 from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. to receive and process paperwork for candidates wishing to qualify for office.

WELL, here is the opportunity to put a new Mayor in town.
Y’all that have been squawking for change this is Your Vote Your Chance.
Make the most of your Right to Vote.
Century does deserve a better group of people making BIG Decisions in a Small Town.
all of y’all should since you think you know how to run a town as for mayor Hawkins looking for another job i don’t think he will be looking but i know who i’am not voting for
Hoping Hawkins runs on his Record.
Where are all the people who think they can run the town better now is the time to pre file and show what you got.
here’s hoping. we need some relief.
Hawkins wins again
Incorporate Century with the closest town in AL and everyone can move on.
After all Century has been thru, most of which resulted from poor, if not outright illegal decisions and “leadership”, Henry ought to be ashamed to show his face in Public. Guess who is getting MY vote?
This is terrible, if Hawkins loses…who is going to misrepresent the town?
This is an outrage…wait a minute…….lets do this
Bye bye hawkins……Id go ahead and start looking for a new job.
Too funny! No politician ever wants to leave office, even if things have gone horribly wrong. They are counting on people not to notice their errors and vote for them again.
