Albany councilors, mayor sworn inTwo new Albany city councilors and a returning one — all of whom were endorsed by the Linn County Democrats in the Nov. 5 General Election — were were sworn in, as was Mayor Alex Johnson, at the Jan. 8 Albany City Council meeting. Michael Thomson (Ward 1B) and Carolyn McLeod (Ward 2B) are first-time councilors. Marilyn Smith (Ward 3B) is starting her second term. Johnson was reelected for his third term as mayor. Other members of the council are Steph Newton-Azorr (Ward 1A), Jackie Montague (Ward 2B) and Ramycia McGhee (Ward 3B). In a 4-3 vote, Newton-Azorr was elected Council President, who will fill in for the mayor when he can't be in attendance or is out of town. The council and mayor are nonpartisan positions, but all seven members are Democrats, and four of the councilors are Democratic Precinct Committee People. We wish them all well in 2025.
