About Mayor Randall Woodfin

Randall L. Woodfin is serving his third term as mayor of Birmingham, guided by a “cradle to career” strategy that puts children at the forefront of every decision.

The goal is to make sure children in Birmingham can thrive and are positioned for success as adults. The city intends to focus on initiatives that nurture children from infancy through the launch of their career, as well as investments that support the next generation by promoting healthy families and communities.  

Among Mayor Woodfin’s current priorities are:

• Endowing Birmingham Promise, a nonprofit scholarship and internship program launched by the Woodfin administration during his first term. 
• Developing a logistics and manufacturing hub along the city’s western corridor, beginning at the site of a former steel mill.
• Continuing to reduce crime and improve public safety.
• Supporting entrepreneurs and small businesses to promote a strong economy and jobs.
• Preventing and combating homelessness.
• Expanding organized sports activities for youth.  
• Sustaining a community-driven Black Male Initiative to specifically improve outcomes for boys ages 8-14.
• Revitalizing neighborhoods by investing in infrastructure and tackling blight. 
• Modernizing zoning rules and other codes to protect the health and well-being of communities. 

From the beginning of his tenure, Mayor Woodfin has developed innovative programs to improve outcomes for children in Birmingham, and those efforts have played a role in the growing success of Birmingham City Schools, lower absentee rates for students, and expanded pathways for college and career. 

By viewing all decisions through their impact on children, the city can more clearly identify priorities and deliver sustainable solutions for the people of Birmingham. 

Mayor Woodfin was first elected mayor in 2017, was re-elected in 2021 and won his third term in 2025. A proud husband and father, Mayor Woodfin is graduate of Morehouse College and Samford University’s Cumberland School of Law. He previously worked as an assistant city attorney and served as president of the Birmingham School Board.
