Hitchcock not running again in 2010
I spoke to City Councilwoman Susan Hitchcock earlier today on an unrelated topic when she told me that she’ll step down from the council when her term expires in December.
Hitchcock is a former mayor and 25-year veteran of Lodi politics, with a dozen years on the City Council.
“That’s almost as long as my career in education,” she said. “I think it’s time to turn it over to some new blood.”
Should make for an interesting race in 2010. There are three seats up including Hitchcock’s. No word yet from incumbents Larry Hansen and Phil Katzakian if they’re going to run again.
I’ll have a full report in Friday’s Record.
