MAYVILLE, NY — At the Chautauqua County Legislature’s annual reorganizational meeting on Thursday, County Executive Paul M. Wendel Jr. offered congratulations and shared his optimistic vision for the year ahead.
“I would like to congratulate everyone on returning for what I believe will be a stellar 2025,” said Wendel, extending special congratulations to Jamie Gustafson and Tom Nelson for joining the leadership team, as well as to Pierre Chagnon for his unanimous re-election as Chair of the Legislature.
Wendel also welcomed new legislators Tamara Dickey and Tom Carl, expressing his enthusiasm to work with them in the future.

Together, we will elevate Chautauqua County to new heights, achieved through hard work, compromise, and that resilient spirit Pierre spoke of.”
Wendel emphasized the importance of collaboration and open communication in achieving success.
