Alan Reisman Elected as New Mayor of Leesburg

Alan Reisman was selected as the new Mayor of Leesburg, following a close 3-2 vote by the city commission. Alan, a lifelong Leesburg resident and current city commissioner, steps into the role with a vision for growth and collaboration. Jay Connell was also nominated.

“I am grateful for the trust my fellow commissioners have shown in nominating me as Mayor of Leesburg,” Alan says. “I also want to thank former Mayor Burry for his outstanding leadership and setting such a strong example. I’m excited to work alongside my colleagues, city staff, and residents to make this a successful year for our community.”

Alan balances two significant roles in his professional life. As a project manager for Firehawk Helicopters, he oversees company projects and assists the team in daily operations, combining his passion for aviation with hands-on leadership.
