In 2017, Joseph Schember expressed his intention to serve three terms as City of Erie mayor, stating his ultimate goals of building opportunity, restoring hope, and transforming Erie. First, though, he must earn a second term by advancing to and winning November's general municipal election.
So far, there is no opposition from any fellow Democrat nor any Republican, as no other candidates have come forward. Despite that, the current Erie mayor earnestly pleaded his case in a video addressing the electorate on Tuesday morning.
