Wednesday, June 29, 2011
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- Portland city Commissioner Randy Leonard says he won't run for re-election in 2012.
The Oregonian reports the former firefighter and state lawmaker has decided to call it quits after three terms as a city commissioner.
The 58-year-old Leonard declined to say whether the death of his 31-year-old daughter two months ago was a factor in his decision.
Meanwhile, former U.S. Senate candidate Steve Novick announced Wednesday that he would be a candidate for commissioner on the Portland City Council.
Novick said on a website that he will focus on jobs and Portland schools.
