Hillsborough Mayor Jenn Weaver announced she will not be seeking re-election in the fall.

"After much consideration, I have decided not to seek re-election in the fall," Weaver stated in a press release. "While this decision wasn’t the easiest one, I know for certain it is the right one for me and my family. Serving the community in this capacity is a tremendous honor and responsibility."

For the remainder of her term, she said she will continue to work on the projects that are already set in motion and will make every effort to "lay the groundwork for a smooth transition to the next phase of town leadership."

Weaver said she's proud of everything the city has accomplished during her time as a civil servant.

"I am at peace knowing Hillsborough has so many smart, caring, dedicated people in our government and in our town to carry us forward well into the future," she said.
