Edward Marlow McIntyre Sr. (1940–2004) became the first African American mayor of Augusta, Georgia, in 1981. He had previously served as a county commissioner for Richmond County since 1970, as the first black candidate to win the office. He is notable for a U.S. federal conviction for extortion in 1984. He later received a pardon and mounted three unsuccessful campaigns for the mayoralty, in 1990, 1998 and 2002.
A graduate of Morehouse College, McIntyre worked for the Pilgrim Health Life Insurance Company before entering politics.
