In a proud moment for the Liberian and broader African diaspora, Saddiq Kamara and Joar Dahn were officially sworn into office on January 5, marking a new chapter of leadership and civic engagement in Delaware County and Darby Borough, Pennsylvania.
Saddiq Kamara, the newly elected Sheriff of Delaware County, has pledged to promote transparency, community safety, and stronger relationships between law enforcement and residents. His commitment reflects a deep understanding of the challenges facing diverse communities and the need for inclusive policing.
Meanwhile, Joar Dahn, the newly elected Mayor of Darby Borough, brings a vision centered on unity, economic revitalization, and empowering young people. As one of the first Liberian-born mayors in the region, Dahn’s election signals growing representation of African voices in local governance.
