Farmington Mayor Kevan Soderberg said today that he won't seek re-election this fall because he has accepted a job as an air traffic control teacher for the University of Oklahoma.
Soderberg, 50, served six years on the Farmington City Council before he was elected mayor in 2004. He said he'll complete his current term, and may continue to live in Farmington, commuting to his new job in Oklahoma City.
He retired in August after 22 years with the Federal Aviation Administration.
