EDMOND, Okla. ( KFOR ) — Edmond Mayor Darrell A. Davis announced on Wednesday he will not be running for re-election in 2025.
Davis has served on the Edmond City Council for 13 years. He served two and half terms as the Councilperson for Ward 3 and is completing his second term as mayor.
Mayor Davis said in a press release on Wednesday:
I am grateful for the strong support I have received from the community during this journey. In my life, it has been observed that time and time again it takes a village. My family is my village. They have supported me from the day I walked into the house and asked them, “Are we going to run for mayor?” Some people may not understand the important role a strong family plays in public service. It comes with great sacrifice, but I have been blessed to have them by my side every day. They love this community as much as I do.
I have served the citizens of Edmond, and now it is time for me to devote all my time to my family.
I have met so many great people during my time serving Edmond. It is humbling to have a birds-eye view as the city continues to grow. I cannot wait to see the next chapter for Edmond as our friends and neighbors step up to continue Edmond’s success.
The announcement that I am not running for reelection comes now so that, perhaps, there is someone in Edmond who wants to step up like I did and continue to make Edmond a better place to live. I will continue to work hard to serve the people of Edmond until my term ends and will forever champion that this is the best place to grow.
Mayor Darrell A. Davis
