Keith Aaron

Keith Aaron (born c. 1961) is a community activist and former president of the Arlington-West End neighborhood.

Aaron has a bachelor's degree in political science from Miles College and is self-employed. He unsuccessfully ran for the Birmingham City Council District 6 seat held by Carole Smitherman in the 2009 Birmingham City Council election. As a City Council candidate his primary issue was neighborhood revitalization.

In that campaign, he pledged to promote home ownership and housing rehabilitation and to recruit businesses to District 6.
