Mayor Paul TenHaken says “Never say never” to another political run…but for now, he’s saying “Not right now’.
After eight years of ‘giving his all’ to the job of Mayor, TenHaken says he’s ready for a break. “And you get done running that marathon, the last thing you’re doing is thinking about running another marathon. You’re gonna say, I want to take a break before I run another marathon. I’m at mile 25 and a half of a 26.2 mile marathon right now,” TenHaken said. “I just want to get through the tape and then take a break.”
He recently posted on social media…as a runner, he compared his position of nearing the end of his second term to running a marathon. “
TenHaken says he’ll hang around to try to help the new mayor if his successor wants.
