Carson City Supervisor Shelly Aldean not running for reelection
Carson City Supervisor Shelly Aldean announced that she will not be seeking reelection to the Ward 2 seat she has held since 2003.
Aldean was appointed to the board in January 2003 after the death of Supervisor Jon Plank. She ran and won elections in 2004 and 2008.
Maurice White, first vice chair of the Carson City Republican Central Committee, plans to announce his intentions to run for the Ward 2 seat at a fundraiser on Feb. 11.
Here is the text of a letter sent out by Aldean about her decision not to run:
Since 2003 I have had the pleasure and privilege of serving on the Carson City Board of Supervisors. As an elected representative I have come to better understand the challenges and rewards of being a public servant and have done my best, whenever possible, to honor the will of the people while remaining faithful to my own convictions. Although gratified by the encouragement I’ve received to run for re-election, I have decided not to seek another term. It was never my intention to linger too long or to deny others for too many years the honor of serving their city.
Over the next 11 months, I look forward to assisting Mayor Crowell and my colleagues on the Board in maintaining a steady course toward economic recovery as we balance the need to be fiscally prudent with the need to be innovative and to capitalize on opportunities that will ensure our future success.
I want to thank those of you who have graciously offered me your support and the benefit of your wisdom over the years and who have made my time in office such a memorable and rewarding experience. Carson City is a community with a strong heart and steady resolve – attributes that will serve it well in the years to come.Best Wishes to All,
Shelly Aldean
