Delarian Wiggins Continues District 7 Leadership: Focus on Community Solutions for Pensacola

Pensacola residents in District 7 continue to benefit from the leadership of City Council Member Delarian Wiggins, who took office on November 24, 2020. Wiggins, a native Pensacolian, focuses on collaborative solutions for the district's challenges, advocating for opportunities accessible to all segments of the population.

Wiggins's commitment to the community stems from his belief that Pensacola should provide suitable opportunities and outlets for everyone, regardless of age, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, or socio-economic standing. His work addresses key issues like homelessness, mental health, improving communication between law enforcement and the community, and fostering diversity and inclusion among stakeholders.

Before his tenure on the City Council, Wiggins served his country with distinction. He graduated from Washington High School, then served in the United States Army and Army National Guard. His military service earned him awards from the U.S. Department of the Navy, the U.S. Department of the Air Force, and the U.S. House of Representatives. Following his honorable discharge, Wiggins dedicated 14 years to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, working in various capacities.

Wiggins is married to Lakisha, a finance professional, and they have two children, Delarian, Jr. and A’Yana. His family commitment remains a driving force behind his public service. Residents can expect Wiggins to continue his efforts in addressing the critical needs of District 7.
