Joe Sandner
Ready to Serve Mountain Brook
Mountain Brook is a special place — and I want to help keep it that way. I’m Joe Sandner IV, a lifelong resident, father, business leader, and someone who believes in giving back.
I’m running for City Council, Place 4, to help protect what makes this community great — and make sure we’re thinking ahead for the next generation.

What People Are Saying
When Joe talks about keeping Mountain Brook Safe, he does so with years of real world experience. Joe has led Downtown Birmingham’s Business Improvement District and its clean and safe program for the past two years; and, as Board Chair, oversaw the program’s expansion to Five Points South and The Switch District. Joe is a measured, yet decisive leader who has unequivocally made our region better.
I’ve had the privilege of knowing and working with Joe Sandner for over ten years. Joe consistently demonstrates creativity, discipline, and sharp intellect in all he does. His exceptional interpersonal skills and extensive professional experience uniquely equip him to effectively manage business of the City of Mountain Brook. Joe’s dedication to our community and his proven leadership make him an outstanding candidate for City Council. I endorse Joe Sandner and encourage you to support him in this election.
Joe doesn’t just talk about improving our athletic and recreational facilities, he actually gets things done. Joe was instrumental in the development of our Alabama Hoops facility, which provided a much needed venue for young boys and girls in Mountain Brook and surrounding communities who were looking for a specialized basketball development experience. Joe is the kind of leader that helps make our community stronger.
We need to elect experienced business leaders who are capable of running the business of Mountain Brook. I wholeheartedly endorse Joe Sandner for City Council.
Joe was one of the best coaches we had through Mountain Brook Athletics. He made every player feel valued and fulfilled the mission of MBA by emphasizing the importance of teamwork and sportsmanship. Joe has my support.
I’ve known Joe for 25 years. He is a business leader of high integrity, and he is committed to the values of civility and courage consistent with the With Honor pledge. I’m delighted to see he’s running for the Mountain Brook City Council to improve his community. He has my full support.
I have known Joe Sandner, IV for many years, and I have always found him personable, respectful, and professional – desirable traits in anyone seeking public office. Joe is both a CPA and real estate professional – as am I – and I think having such skill sets represented on the City Council would be of great value since much of what comes before the Council for important decisions is either or both financial or real estate in nature.
Joe grew up in Mountain Brook and now is raising his family in our community. He has been active in many aspects of the City including our school system and related parent organizations, children’s sports options and an area church. As a result, Joe is highly committed to do all he can to maintain the best aspects of our community while working hard to facilitate improvements of whatever nature are possible.
I find Joe uniquely well-suited as a member of Mountain Brook’s City Council, so I will be voting for him for Place 4 and ask you to do the same.As a past PTO President and an involved mom, I am proud to endorse Joe Sandner for Mountain Brook Council Place 4. Through my engagement with multiple Mountain Brook PTO organizations, I know the important role that strong leadership plays in both our schools and our community. I have known Joe Sandner and his family for more than 20 years. I am confident that Joe will bring to public service a thoughtful, problem-solving mindset from his business background, which, combined with his everyday experience as a dad of three, give him a unique and balanced perspective on the issues that matter most to our community – education, public safety, and responsible growth. I am proud to support Joe’s candidacy and hope that you will do the same.
I have known Joe for over 25 years and worked with him for over 15 years. I have great familiarity with how he operates his real estate business. He is a visionary leader with the highest integrity. His business acumen would be a tremendous asset to the City. I am very pleased to support Joe for the City Council.
