Commissioner Hal Walker announced at the Thursday night Unified Government meeting that he would not run for re-election.
Walker, who represents the 2nd District, at large, is a former city attorney and UG attorney.
“I’ve been in this building 38 years, by the time this term is over, and I have to tell you, that’s enough,” Walker quipped.
He said he was announcing now that he would not run for re-election in order to give notice to other candidates who might want to run.
He said he is planning to serve out the rest of the term. The filing deadline is noon June 1; the primary is in August and the general election is in November.
To a dedicated public servant, Hal, thank you for your service. Tom & Jody Boeding
