Nick Frevold
for District 4
I’m Nick Frevold
I was born and raised in Rogersville, Alabama, a small town ~45 minutes west of Huntsville. Small town life wasn’t for me though, so after high school, I started working in Madison and soon moved there. Not long after, I realized Huntsville was where I truly wanted to be, so in 2018, I moved to Huntsville.
Since 2017, I have worked full time running my own business making and selling products online and at events, including many events here in Huntsville. I am also a professional photographer, focusing on outdoor portraits, and city landscapes. Every photo you’ll find on this website was taken by me (aside from the photos featuring myself, which were taken by my dad).
I’ve had two passions even since I was a teenager; being a community leader and biking. I have organized events and played a leading role in many communities over the years. Most recently, I launched Strong Towns Huntsville, a non-partisan organization advocating for creating safer streets for all and more sustainable growth of the city.
My wife and I married in 2025 after an ~18 month long immigration process for her and her daughter. I know first hand the challenges immigrant families face when moving to the city. Huntsville has one of the most diverse populations in the state, with much of its growth coming from people from other states or countries. I’m very familiar with our diverse population, having met people in Huntsville who are from Mexico, China, the Philippines, South Korea, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Being an Alabama native with an immigrant family, I have the willingness and capability to represent everyone in District 4, no matter how you got here.
Improving Huntsville with 3 policy goals
Safer streets for kids and families
- Create safer streets in front of schools, making it safer for kids to walk and bike to school. Protected bike lanes on school roads, improved road designs to discourage speeding, and stricter enforcement of road laws in school zones.
- Standardize the speed limit to 25mph in all of downtown.
- Permanently close a small section of Church Street to car traffic that divides Big Spring Park. This will make it safer for families to cross, effectively expanding the park, while still being available space to use for events (such as for Food Truck Fridays).
Zoning Reform
- Legalize ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units), allowing more housing choices for families.
- Simplify zoning code to allow more types of housing and retail, allowing neighborhoods to develop more character and charm.
- Allow small local retail sales (maximum $1,000 revenue per month) in every neighborhood. This means legalizing yard sales, kids lemonade stands, and home crafters or bakers selling their products from their own homes.
Improved Huntsville Transit
- Add bus routes and improve service speed in high foot traffic areas such as along Clinton Ave, connecting downtown, the VBC, Campus 805, and Stovehouse.
- Implement a 1% Land Value Tax (LVT) on non-residential property to pay for bus rapid transit (BRT) and free bus service in densely populated areas.
- Provide bus service from downtown to the airport, lowering the cost to travel out of HSV airport by avoiding airport parking fees.
- Expand protected bike lanes and greenways.
