Long serving Albany Mayor Jerry Jennings, 64, announced via an emailed letter Tuesday night that he will not seek a sixth term in office.

"After countless hours of deliberation and evaluation, I have decided not to seek re-election as your mayor. Although every day I still find joy in the work I do and in the people I serve, the time has come for a new chapter to be written," Jennings wrote.

Just Saturday, the Albany County Democratic Committee's candidate review panel backed Jennings for re-election.

The way is now open for a battle between City Treasurer Kathy Sheehan and former City Councilman Corey Ellis, both Democrats, leading to the November election.

Jennings' current mayoral term marks a milestone. He passed Philip Schuyler Van Rensselaer, who served about 19 years between 1799 and 1820, making him the second longest-serving mayor of all time, though far short of Erastus Corning 2nd's 41-year-tenure.
