Horgan made the decision in part due to concerns for his health, which has taken a toll from fighting cancer, he said in a statement on June 28.
“As we reach the mid-point of our second term, it is clear the tasks ahead of us are enormous and will require a leader focused on the next two years and beyond,” Horgan said.
“A second bout with cancer and dozens of radiation treatments has led me to take stock. I am proud to say I’m cancer free. While I have a lot of energy, I must acknowledge this may not be the case two years from now. Therefore, I have decided not to run again in the next election.”…
