Edwin Everett Pawlowski is an American politician who served as the 41st Mayor of Allentown, Pennsylvania. He held the office from 2006 until his resignation in 2018, following his election to a fourth term in 2017.[2] He resigned after being convicted on 47 federal charges related to corruption as mayor of Allentown.[3][4]

On April 17, 2015, Pawlowski announced that he would run for the U.S. Senate in 2016, but he suspended his campaign the following July.[5] He was a candidate for Pennsylvania governor in 2014, but dropped out of the race in February after, he said, "it became clear that he was not going to be able to raise the necessary money."[6][7]
