The Burlington, Vermont city council president has announced that he will be retiring after 25 years in local politics.
Republican Kurt Wright announced during his morning radio show on WVMT that he will not seek re-election in 2020.
Wright said. “I know that I'm probably letting down a lot of people who have asked me to run, who've asked me to continue to be a voice.”
Wright served as a state representative for 18 years. WCAX-TV reports that Wright, the only republican on city council, says he worries about how the council will address critical issues without him or another Republican present.
