Mayor’s Office
Mayor Derek Slaughter
Born and raised in Williamsport, Mayor Derek Slaughter moved back after completing his education to work and raise his family here.
Derek is committed to building strong communities, and although there are challenges facing Williamsport, he believes that if we meet them head-on we can find lasting solutions.
As a City Councilman and now as Mayor, Slaughter has always been a fiscally responsible guardian of taxpayer dollars. “Our City government must be accountable for how we spend tax dollars to ensure our spending priorities make sense and align with our City’s strategic plan as a whole.”
