Mayor Derrick Wood

Black history does not end in February. It lives where stories are told — from the U.S. Senate to Dumfries. Reflection here 👇 derrickrwood.com/news/black-his… #Leadership #Legacy #BlackHistory @JennMcClellanVA @timkaine @KadeemHardison @SpanbergerForVA

$1.2M secured for flood mitigation along Quantico Creek — protecting homes and strengthening infrastructure in Dumfries. This reflects strategic planning + bipartisan support + action. Read more: derrickrwood.com/news/dumfries-… #DumfriesVA #Infrastructure #FederalFunding

Rights without restraint lead to chaos. Authority without accountability leads to abuse. Leadership exists to hold both at the same time, especially in moments like this.

Attended the VA Black Chamber Legislative Reception (2026) — supporting the business community and representing our town at the state level. Honored to receive the Blackprint Award. Grateful for the recognition. Focused on the responsibility. 🔗 derrickrwood.com/news/inside-th…

If you believe leadership is about making room for others to speak — this reflection is for you. 👉🏾 derrickrwood.com/news/the-dream…

After hearing from residents, business owners, and community leaders, I want to be clear: I plan to run for re-election as Mayor of Dumfries, with a formal announcement coming this spring. Full statement: derrickrwood.com/news/mayor-woo…

Dumfries has secured a $240,000 federal grant to help plan safer, more accessible sidewalks town-wide. This is how progress begins—clarity first, construction next. 🔗 derrickrwood.com/news/240000-fe…

Dumfries just saved $1.7M through a smart bond strategy. 6 competitive bids → lower rate → major community savings. Full story: derrickrwood.com/news/how-dumfr… #DumfriesRising

Saddened by the loss of Congressman Gerry Connolly—a mentor, supporter, and friend. He believed in local government, always showed up for Dumfries, and helped shape my path in public service. His legacy lives on. He will truly be missed. #VAPolitics #RIPGerryConnolly

Your leadership, integrity, & tireless dedication have left a lasting mark not only on NOVA but also on the next generation of public servants like myself. Thank you for your support over the years & for inspiring me to serve with purpose & passion. continued strength and peace.

Mayors representing cities large and small, rural and urban, from the east coast to the west coast, from the Midwest to the South stand united to advocate for collaboration with federal partners. “It’s about working hand in hand to enact real change…” -Savannah Mayor Van Johnson

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 What a way to kick off #AAMA2025 in Washington, DC. Mayors are taking advantage of “The Power of Now” to advocate for collaboration with federal partners and private industry. The time is right to make bold steps to enhance our nation’s cities.

Grateful to bring back money to our community!
