Mayor of Gray says, “I just don’t see me doing it for 4 more years.”
GRAY, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Mayor Stephen Tingen posted on Facebook that he won’t be running for Mayor again.
Tingen wrote a post on July 30th on his Mayor of Gray Facebook page.
The post reads:
Will I run for re-election?
A lot would have to happen and not happen in my personal and professional life for me to run again… I just don’t see me doing it for 4 more years… I think I’ve played my part and it wasn’t easy or fun… The speed has slowed down in the city and most problems are fixed except the people at the table; that fix is left up to you, the voters… I carry the scars of change these last 4 years, it’s been a fight everyday.. I believe it’s time for me to step aside and help somewhere else.
Government doesn’t have to be slothic and filled with greed and envy. And anyone can win, I proved that! So I hope you prove to me it was worth it and step up for Gray, GA in this year’s election.
Just an average guy,
Stephen Tingen
We reached out to the Mayor and he said he wrote the post because he wanted other people to sign up to run for Mayor.
