JAMESTOWN – The city of Jamestown has a new mayor. Eddie Sundquist<\/strong> was sworn into office by city judge John LaMancuso<\/strong> during the Jamestown City Council’s<\/strong> reorganizational meeting on New Years Day at Jamestown Community College.<\/p>\n

With Sundquist taking his oath of office, the city has a new mayor for the first time in 20 years. Sundquist, a Democrat, replaces former mayor and fellow Democrat Sam Teresi<\/strong>, who chose not to seek reelection for a sixth consecutive term in 2019. Instead, Sundquist ran for mayor in the 2019 General Election<\/strong> and was able to defeat Republican David Wilfong<\/strong> and Libertarian and former city councilman Andrew Liuzzo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Following his oath of office, Sundquist made some brief remarks, saying he is aware of the various challenges facing the city but also believes the community is ready and willing to meet those challenges head on.<\/p>\n
