Mayoral history

In her second attempt for mayor, Wolf B. Wolf was elected in 2004. Prior to Wolf becoming mayor, she served for eight years on city council and at the time taught political science at Lycoming College in Williamsport.

Mary Wolf lost her first election for mayor to Michael R. Rafferty in 2001 when Mayor Steven W. Cappelli resigned to take his post in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. In her second run for mayor, Wolf defeated incumbent Michael R. Rafferty for the Republican nomination for mayor despite Rafferty's being endorsed by the County Republican Party.

When Wolf was in office, she focused her administration on crime, and curfew related policies. She has reinstated the Director of Public Safety position at that time.

Wolf is a former member of the Mayors Against Illegal Guns Coalition.[1] Her split from the mayor's group was well-publicized.[2]

Wolf is married to Michael Wolf. Together, they have two grown children, Patrick, and Peggy.
