## Caption

A six-minute recorded phone call between Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin and Jefferson County Commissioner Lashunda Scales captures a tense exchange marked by accusations, political threats, and long-simmering personal animosity between the veteran leaders.

The call made in October, recently obtained by AL.com, provides a rare inside look into behind-the-scenes politics in Birmingham, with Woodfin threatening to endorse and actively campaign for a rival candidate to Scales in the upcoming commission race.

Woodfin, who defeated Scales and the seven other challengers for his position as mayor last year, initiated the six-minute call and accused Scales of spreading political rumors.

The full six-minute phone call is available on our page.
