Images of local election Campaign cards - Allegany County MD

Edward C. Athey (1935-2014) was first elected to the Cumberland City Council in 1982, and was the top vote-getter in the General Election with 3,629 votes. As noted here in a May 1982 Cumberland News campaign advertisement, Athey’s slogan was “I Want to Serve Our Queen City.” Athey was re-elected in 1984 and served on the council until 1986. In 1992 Athey was elected Mayor of Cumberland, and re-elected to that position again in 1994, 1996, and 1998 serving in that capacity until 2000. At that time he was defeated in his re-election bid by Lee N. Fiedler.
