Councilwoman Del Pepper Announces She’s Not Running for Reelection

After 35 years, Councilwoman Redella “Del” Pepper has announced that this will be her last year on the City Council.

Pepper said in an email to friends and supporters that she would not run for reelection, Alexandria Living Magazine first reported.

“There’s really not much to say,” Pepper told ALXnow. “There’s a time for everything, and I just felt this was my time. I have enjoyed every minute that I’ve served on the City Council.”

Pepper has represented the West End of Alexandria since 1985 and has over the last decade been a leading force behind the effort to redevelop Landmark Mall.

The City Council election is scheduled for Nov. 2, 2021, after a citywide primary on June 8.

“It’s been quite a run,” Pepper said. “I love it and I’m going to work hard for the rest of the year.”
