Alexandrian Bob Wood officially made his bid for City Council on Thursday morning, citing deep community roots, leadership and management skills, military duty and ability to renew public trust in government.

Wood, a lieutenant general who spent 36 years in the military, was most recently in Alexandria’s public eye as a member of the Waterfront Plan Work Group. During his press conference in front of City Hall, Wood said he adamantly would have voted against the city’s plan to redevelop its riverside.
