""As a former urban mayor, I understand that running a city like Birmingham is challenging even in the best of times. That is why Randall Woodfin's leadership has been so essential in leading the city through an unprecedented pandemic, creating new economic opportunities, and confronting systemic criminal justice inequalities that had compounded over decades. He showed courage and conviction.""--Senator Cory Booker ""Mayor Woodfin is one of the great young leaders of our country. From protecting the health and safety of the people of Birmingham to saving and creating jobs, to providing tuition-free higher education and fighting for voting rights, he sets the bar for making sure government works for the people. I am proud to support a mayor who continues a proud civil rights legacy and who will help us build back better and stronger than ever.""--President Joe Biden ""Randall Woodfin is a committed leader who believes in justice and opportunity for all. He understands that with so much unmet need in our communities, now is not the time for complacency. We need leadership with the courage and vision to use government as a tool to advance true equity and holistically invest in the needs of people.""--Stacey Abrams
