Akron Mayor Dan Horrigan announced that he will not be seeking a third term as the city’s mayor Tuesday.
After much consideration and self-reflection, I have decided not to seek a third term as the mayor of this great city. My reasons are my own, and they are without regret. It is the honor of my professional lifetime to serve as Akron’s 62nd mayor. It is my intention to complete my second term through December 2023 with the same vigor and integrity that I hope I have displayed so far. There’s still more work to be done.
Mayor Horrigan was sworn in as the 62nd Mayor of Akron on January 1, 2016, and was elected for a second term which began in 2020. According to the Mayor’s office website, after earning a BA in Economics from Kent State University, Mayor Horrigan earned an education degree from the University of Akron. While obtaining his second degree, Mayor earned a living as a “curb boy” at the iconic Swenson’s restaurant. Recognizing an opportunity to give back to the North Hill community, he campaigned for and won election to Akron City Council’s Ward 1 in 1999, a position he held for nearly 8 years.
