One of the longest-serving members of Richmond City Council may be calling it quits and is expected to make an announcement this evening.
From the Richmond Free Press:
One of the longest serving members on Richmond City Council plans to call it quits and not seek re-election, the Free Press has learned.
City Council Vice President Chris A. Hilbert privately has told people that this will be his final year on the governing body.
At least four people already have begun organizing to run for the 3rd District seat he has held since 2005.
While Mr. Hilbert has not issued any public statement, the Free Press has been told he plans to announce his decision to his council colleagues when he receives his 15-year pin at an upcoming council meeting, possibly on Monday, Jan. 13.
