Westlock mayor Bruce Lennon is not ready to announce whether he intends to run for mayor again in this fall’s municipal elections.
Speaking last week, Lennon said with the election not until Oct. 21, there’s plenty of time to figure out what he wants to do.
“It’s still six months away from the action, so I’m still considering my options,” he said. “I don’t know when the final decision will be made.”
Although he isn’t sure when he’ll decided to run or not, Lennon said it will likely be sometime this summer. He added people should not be surprised one way or another.
If Lennon chooses to run in this fall’s election, he would be gunning for a fourth consecutive term in the mayor’s chair.
He first ran in the 2004 election, defeating Clem Fagnan and Don Naclia. Lennon earned 1,111 votes that year, compared to 497 for Fagnan and 102 for Naclia.
He ran again in 2007, and was acclaimed when no one decided to challenge him. When he ran in 2010, he was once again acclaimed.
Prior to running for mayor in 2007, Lennon had spent three terms as a town councillor from 1992 until 2001 and 10 years as a school board trustee with the Westlock school division from 1982 until 1992.
