Teen wins Linesville mayor race

LINESVILLE — The first opportunity Christopher R. Seeley had to vote in an election was Tuesday. And Seeley voted for himself after pulling the curtain shut.

Some 144 other residents did the same as the 18-year-old Democrat won the position of Linesville mayor, according to unofficial results, against long-time Linesville Borough Council member Kevin McGrath, who received 76 votes.

“The people of Linesville have spoken,” said Seeley, a lifelong resident of the borough and a senior at Linesville High School. “They are able to trust their police and security to my generation.”

The new mayor, who just turned 18 in September and was unable to vote for himself in the spring primary election, will join a council with the youngest councilman in Crawford County. David Hoogstad Jr., 19, was appointed earlier this year at age 18.

Seeley was surprised to win by such a large margin.

for three fourths of it. And, I am very ashamed to admit, a registered Republican. Like I said, I was drunk and stoned and had no idea what the fuck was going on with anything.

Not some carpet bagger who moved there to cash in on all the money there.
