Expecting a second child, York Mayor John Brenner says he won't seek reelection, the York Daily Record reports.
Brenner, who was elected the town's youngest mayor in 2001, said he made his announcement now to give the Democratic Party enough time to choose a replacement nominee.
He did not rule out future political work.
"It is with a heavy heart and mixed emotions that I announce I will not run for office in 2009," Brenner said."
"If McCain is listening, please select former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge - more national politics going local - and we'll throw in some extra duct tape."
