"Basically, it came down to my political beliefs that people shouldn’t be in political office forever," Huebner said. Huebner is also helping raise four boys, two teenagers and two younger boys also quickly closing in on that age — something that will require more of his time.

The mayor earns $7,500 and serves a three-year term.
