A group of Democratic elected officials led by former Woodbridge Supervisor Delegate Margaret Franklin called on Muhammed “Sef” Casim to step down as the Democratic nominee for Woodbridge District Supervisor, while Prince William Board Chair Deshundra Jefferson criticized his apology and urged meetings with affected communities.
On March 2, 2026, a joint statement from Democratic elected officials declared Sufiyan “Sef” Casim’s resurfaced social media remarks racist, xenophobic, and misogynistic, describing them as disqualifying due to a fundamental failure of character and judgment. The signers stated that Casim’s use of deeply derogatory language has caused immeasurable pain, particularly to African Americans, and that he does not grasp the weight and history of the words used.
Prince William County Republicans are demanding that local Democrats revoke support for their Woodbridge District Supervisor nominee after old social media posts resurfaced, while the candidate’s main X account is now protected from public view.
