Lloydminster municipal election is nearing and current Coun. Lorelee Marin has announced she will not be running in the upcoming election.
“I have decided not to seek reelection,” she said.
Marin was first elected in 2020 and says she has enjoyed her time on council.
“It’s been a complete honour to serve as a city councillor I’ve enjoyed all aspects of it, I simply need to have more time for my family and to really focus on my health and I couldn’t commit to another four years,” she said.
Marin explained she enjoyed engaging with the community.
“I like the toughness of the job I like all of those opportunities that we have to engage with the public and hear their voice,” she said.
The decision was made as Marin wants to be able to spend more time with family.
“In the years ahead, I look forward to more time with my husband of 40 years who has been my greatest support & cheerleader, our six grandkids & their parents,” she wrote in a Facebook post announces her departure from council.
Though she will not be serving on committees as a council representative she still has plans to remain working with the community.
