Political party Democratic Christopher Seeley (born September 15, 1987) is the mayor of Linesville, Pennsylvania. Born on September 15, 1987, Seeley is among the youngest mayors of U.S. cities to serve to date. He ran against long-time Linesville Borough Council Member Kevin McGrath. Seeley was nominated for Mayor as a Democrat at age 17, on May 17, 2005, while attending Linesville High School as a Junior. He was advised by party officials he could seek the nomination since he would turn 18 by the November 8, 2005 general election, which he won. At the time, he was a senior at Linesville High School.
Two other 18-year-olds were elected to mayoral positions the same day, Michael Sessions of Hillsdale, Michigan (also born in September 1987) and Sam Juhl of Roland, Iowa.
Seeley is now a student at Allegheny College where he is a music and political science double major. He plays the tuba. Seeley won re-election to a second four-year term on November 3, 2009.
