McCoy won't seek third term; mayoral candidates step forward ReminderNews: "McCoy won't seek third term; mayoral candidates step forward, possibility of running for U.S. Senate in 2012"

In a press conference late in the afternoon on July 22, Vernon Mayor Jason McCoy announced that he will not seek re-election this November, but instead will explore the possibility of running for U.S. Senate in 2012. “I want to thank the citizens of the town of Vernon for allowing me to serve as mayor,” McCoy said, adding that he intends to “spend more time with my family, to focus on my career as a lawyer, and to explore a run for the United States Senate. It's now that I move to the next level. I've done all I can do in Vernon.” McCoy, a Republican, touted his handling of the town budget, and called for more fiscal conservancy on the national level. “Over the last four years, we've reduced taxes and reduced the cost of government,” he said. “We've changed the economic environment to promote jobs and job opportunities, along with economic growth, while expanding our tax base. Part of this success has been electing fiscal conservatives to the town council, as well as the Board of Education.”
