HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif.—Huntington Beach Mayor Lyn Semeta will not be running for reelection in November, and will be stepping out of the political arena altogether.
“I wanted to make a difference, and ... I felt that I could, but it wasn’t a goal for me to be in politics for a long time,” Semeta told The Epoch Times. “I wasn’t looking to go to higher office. I really just was interested in serving my own city.”
