POTTSVILLE, Pa. — It's something that hasn't happened in almost a decade, but Pottsville officially has a new mayor.
Dave Clews was sworn in Monday morning at city hall.
The former city council member is a life-long resident of Pottsville and owns a car audio shop in the city.
Here's what he said is on his agenda:
"My first thing is I want to still the pride in my hometown, I still believe in neighborhoods and the strengths there is in them, I've had a good 2 years on council working with all my favorite council people and I look forward to continuing with that just in a different chair," said Mayor Dave Clews.
Clews, a Republican, defeated incumbent Jim Muldowney to become mayor of Pottsville back in November.
