Raleigh, NC, mayor says she won't run again, citing health, family

The mayor of North Carolina’s capital city announced on Tuesday that she won't seek reelection this fall, citing in part health challenges and mentioning a new job.

Mary-Ann Baldwin, whose time on Raleigh’s city council goes back to 2007, has been mayor since December 2019. Raleigh is North Carolina’s second-largest city by population with over 475,000 people.

"It’s time to devote my energies to myself and my family, and to find other ways to serve," Baldwin said in a video revealing her decision.
