Raleigh Mayor Mary-Ann Baldwin will not run for re-election
RALEIGH, NC (WTVD) — Raleigh Mayor Mary-Ann Baldwin announced that will not run for re-election.
In a video posted to YouTube she broke down her decision.
She announced in the video that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer in 2023. She said the cancer was caught early, and successful surgery gave her a great outlook.
That health scare initially made her more dedicated to running for re-election. However, then her husband had complications with open-heart surgery, and their beloved dog was hospitalized.
She said those events made life more stressful and left her wondering how much more she could take.
She said her head and her heart were in conflict with each other about what to do.
