Erie Swears In Mayor Daria Devlin and City Officials; Council Adopts Rules and Files Election Data
Summary
Erie officials sworn into office following the Nov. 4, 2025 municipal election included Mayor Daria Devlin and City Controller Brooke Sanfilippo; the council also adopted its 2026 rules and accepted election data from the Erie County Board of Elections before adjourning at 09:54AM.
Erie formally swore in the winners of the Nov. 4, 2025 municipal election and completed two routine procedural steps at a council ceremony that concluded at 09:54AM.
The council announced the certified vote totals: Daria Devlin was declared elected mayor with 15,506 votes; Brooke Sanfilippo was declared city controller with 14,881 votes; Andre Horton (13,440), Marilyn Pohl (12,842) and Maurice Mo Troop (12,586) were declared elected to city council; Jasmine Flores was declared elected to a council seat with 12,453 votes (transcript notes her term as two or four years). The meeting then moved to administer the oaths of office for the newly elected officials.
Shortly after taking their oaths, the council approved two procedural resolutions. A resolution sponsored by Jasmine Flores and seconded by Kathleen Shoff adopted the council rules for 2026; a second resolution, also sponsored by Flores and seconded by Kathleen Shaw, received and ordered filed election data provided by the Erie County Board of Elections. The meeting record lists members Brzezinski, Flores, Horton, Pohl, Shoff (also referenced as Shaw), Titus and Troop in connection with those items.
Newly sworn officials offered brief remarks of thanks and set a cooperative tone for the coming term. One speaker said, “I just wanted to say thank you everyone for coming here this morning,” and others emphasized a focus on children, community service and working with the new administration. Speakers repeatedly affirmed service to the city and gratitude to family and supporters.
Several speakers referenced local civic leaders and family legacies during the oath ceremonies. An attorney identified in the record spoke about Andre Horton’s family history of public service; another speaker referenced the legacy of the Meredith family in Erie. The transcript also records Pastor Clark and a judge participating in parts of the ceremony.
The council adjourned at 09:54AM; the record lists the members present as Ed Brzezinski, Jasmine Flores, Andre Horton, Marilyn Pohl, Kathleen Shoff (also referenced as Shaw), Tyler Titus and Mo Troop.
A full public record of vote tallies and the Erie County Board of Elections data was noted as received and ordered filed during the meeting; the transcript does not provide further procedural deadlines or implementation steps.
