No big announcement? No news conference? It wasn't how many of us expected it to happen. A discrete letter sent out to the media after the evening news... at around 7:20 in the evening. The 20-year Mayor of Albany, Jerry Jennings has decided not to seek reelection.
Was it a surprise? Maybe to some... but I got the feeling he was calling it quits when we would have
our weekly chats. He comes to the station to host his weekly radio show and he's always been very friendly and talkative. Did he say he wasn't seeking reelection in those weekly chats? No- even though we would ask him- but still- it kinda felt like it was coming.
The 5 term Mayor has been a mainstay in a state- where we've seen politicians come and go. His laid back "
Hey babe!" greeting, freshly showered and warm cologne scent and his ever present sun kissed skin will be missed when a new Mayor is elected. You gotta admit- this mayor has style.
Many will remember him as a passionate representative of the city of Albany.
The race is on now- to find his replacement.
