Mayor Matson won't seek re-election
DAVENPORT, Iowa (KWQC) - Mayor Mike Matson will not be running for re-election.
Matson announced it at the city’s committee-of-the-whole meeting Wednesday evening.
“I think it’s time to focus on my family and focus on my retirement. I have seven wonderful grandchildren. Couple years ago I didn’t have any. So I will not be running for re-election,” he said.
“I wish all the candidates the best, and I look forward to finishing the year and working with everybody because Davenport is a great place and team. Davenport sets a standard in the state and everywhere else on what to do so.”
