Cleveland Mayor Won’t Seek 5th Term

“After a record 16 years in office, Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson said it was time to call it quits,” the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

“The longest serving mayor in the city’s history announced Thursday that he would not seek an unprecedented fifth term, bringing an end to an era of governance in Cleveland that lasted the better part of two decades. It also officially sets off what has become a crowded primary field to succeed Jackson.”
