As Birmingham stands at a crossroads in the 2025 mayoral election, there is one candidate whose character and record should resonate with every voter seeking a fair and inclusive future. That man is Frank Woodson—a leader whose honesty, decency, and lifelong commitment to the city offer real hope for meaningful change.
Frank Woodson is not only recognized for his personal integrity, but also as someone who listens and cares deeply about the communities that have been left behind. While downtown and Southside have seen consistent investment, it is the east, north, and west sides that have suffered neglect for far too long. Woodson’s platform is centered on restoring core city services, revitalizing our forgotten neighborhoods, and making sure every resident feels seen and valued.
Birmingham deserves a mayor with the vision and resolve to repair and uplift what others overlook. Woodson’s history of leadership in nonprofit organizations, disaster relief, and business management is matched only by his hands-on achievements in historic building renovation and critical infrastructure improvements. He brings proven experience from projects that have given new life to old landmarks, preserved Birmingham’s heritage, and provided a foundation for future growth.
Woodson is dedicated to fighting blight, strengthening our infrastructure, and expanding real opportunities—especially where they are needed most.
He has always insisted on transparency, accountability, and a government that serves its people honestly. A vote for Frank Woodson is a vote for a Birmingham that invests in every neighborhood, cherishes its history, and promises a brighter, fairer tomorrow for all.
The Birmingham Free Press proudly endorses Frank Woodson for Mayor of Birmingham.
