Erie city council sets 2026 lineup as new members take office

Erie City Council’s 2026 lineup is now official.

At an Erie City Hall ceremony on Jan. 5, new council members Andre Horton and Marilyn Pol, who won seats in November’s municipal election, were sworn in along with Jasmine Flores and Maurice Troop.

The four join Tyler Titus, Ed Brzezinski and Kathy Schaaf on the seven-member, all-Democratic City Council. Horton is a former Erie County Councilman who could not run for re-election to that seat because of county term limit rules. Pol is a former deputy city clerk.

Troop and Flores both won second four-year terms in November’s election.

Brooke Sanfilippo, the city’s new controller, was also sworn in on Jan. 5. Sanfilippo, a Democrat, succeeds three-term controller Teresa Stankiewicz, who could not run again because of the city’s three term limit.
