(AURN News) — D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, 53, announced this week that she will not seek a fourth term. In a letter addressed to “Washingtonians,” she reflected on her 10 years in office and what she described as an “ambitious agenda.”
“Throughout this remarkable journey, I’ve been honored to serve with countless dedicated city executives and extraordinary front-line workers — the incredible people who keep Washington, D.C., thriving every day. For their bold vision, big ideas, personal sacrifices and relentless pursuit of excellence in service to this great city, I am deeply grateful,” she wrote in the letter.
“It has been the honor of my life to be your mayor. When you placed your trust in me ten years ago, you gave me an extraordinary opportunity to have a positive impact on my hometown. Every day since, I’ve cherished that opportunity and have given all of my passion and energy to a job I love,” she added.
Bowser’s current term is set to end on Jan. 2, 2027. She has served as mayor since 2015 and was the first Black woman elected to the position. Before becoming mayor, she represented Ward 4 on the D.C. Council.
