Cambridge City Councilor Paul Toner will not run for reelection due to allegations of buying sex, despite believing he could be successful. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges in court, where a criminal complaint claims he communicated frequently with brothel operators. Toner expressed gratitude to supporters for encouraging him to run again, but he decided to step back from elective office after completing his term. He plans to serve the remaining six months and reflected on his enjoyment of helping constituents with municipal matters.
"I've thought about this a lot and have decided to complete my current term and take a step back from elective office to explore other opportunities."
"What I've enjoyed most in my role as city councillor is helping everyday constituents navigate the bureaucracy of municipal government and addressing their day to day concerns."
