A new lawmaker will join the Erie County Legislature in just a few weeks.

Democrats nominated Cheektowaga Councilman Timothy Meyers to succeed Pat Burke in the 7th District.

Meyers was first elected to town council in 2013 and has served as deputy supervisor.

Meyers is an Airfield Supervisor at Niagara Falls International Airport.

Burke was elected to the State Assembly last month.

The county legislature appoints his replacement based on the nomination by the 7th District’s Democratic Committee.
