Century Mayor, Two Council Members Sworn In; Council Leaders Elected
January 8, 2025
Century’s mayor and two council members were sworn in Tuesday night for new terms.
Luis Gomez, Jr., who was reelected without opposition last year, took the oath of office as mayor. His tenure will be short; Gomez submitted his resignation effective Friday earlier in the same meeting.
Dynette Lewis (seat 1) and Henry Cunningham (seat 2) ran unopposed and were sworn into their seats for four-year terms.
The oaths, which are purely ceremonial, were administered somewhat hastily at the end of a council meeting, with the council pausing for a member retrieving a Bible from her car.
The council reelected Lewis as president and selected Cunningham as vice president for the upcoming year.
