“I’m not going to run again,” Wierengo told MLive and The Muskegon Chronicle.
“I think it is important that young members get involved on the commission and people come to serve the city with different ideas.
However, I think It is important that we have women representation on the commission.”
The two at-large seats are among the seven on the commission – the mayor and four commissioners elected from four wards across the city.
The ward commissioners will be half-way through their four-year terms when those elected in November take office Jan. 1.
In the two at-large commission seats, only Demario L. Phillips, 23, of 1394 Ranson St. is the only candidate to file petitions but he has more signatures to gather before being placed on the ballot, Cummings said.
Phillips had announced to run for mayor in 2012 but changed his mind and is pursuing a commission seat.
Two candidates have not filed but have publicly announced their interest in running for the at-large commission seats.
They are Joshua EldenBrady, a Muskegon attorney who ran unsuccessfully for the Muskegon County Board of Commissioners last year, and Dan Rinsema-Sybenga, the director of business and industrial training for Muskegon Community College.
