Regan Ends Mayoral Crusade

Raleigh's own Christian soldier has decided not to move onward after all.

City Council member and would-be theocrat Mike Regan has already decided to call off his recently launched campaign for mayor, the News & Observer reports.

"Running for mayor is a whole different level," he told the paper. "The amount of time it would take, the amount of energy it would take, it would put more important things at risk, and I just can't do that."

However, Regan does plan to seek another term representing North Raleigh’s suburban District A. It will be interesting to see how his stated opposition to parks and recreation funding will go over with his district’s soccer moms and dads.
