City Councillor Paul A. Camuso Backs Off From Mayoral Race

The following was emailed to Medford Patch from Medford City Council President Paul Camuso:

“Over the last week, I have been so humbled by the encouragement and support that I have received to run for mayor in the city that I proudly call my hometown.

“I owe each and every person a sincere ‘thank you.’ To those of you who have reached out to me in one form or another, your words have meant so much. I have given this decision serious thought while looking back at the last 16 years I have been in public service.

“I announced in December that I would not be seeking reelection. At the age of 37, I have a young family, and personal and professional goals I would like to achieve. I am committed and devoted to my role at the Middlesex Sheriff’s Office and the special projects that I am currently working on. For these reasons, I have made my decision to not run for mayor at this time.

“Medford is the cornerstone of my life and I will continue to look for ways I can improve the quality of life for its residents as I move forward in my journey.

“In the coming months I will aggressively campaign for the candidate that I feel will bring much needed change to the City of Medford.I continue to look forward to working as your city councilor.”
