TenHaken doesn't ‘intend' to seek another public office
SIOUX FALLS S.D. (KELO) — In a letter posted on social media, Sioux Falls Mayor Paul TenHaken said he will not seek another public office once his mayoral term ends.
'After prayerful thought and discussions with my family, I do not intend to run for another public office at this time and look forward to seeking opportunities in the private sector,' TenHaken wrote.

He also highlighted various projects that were completed during his time in office, including the building of the public safety training campus and developments in downtown Sioux Falls like Jacobson Plaza.
When TenHaken's time as mayor ends, is still not known as city councilors continue to weigh when to place the next city election.
'This does not mean I am walking away from politics. I will certainly stay engaged to help make sure South Dakota elects pragmatic leaders to local and state offices with servant hearts and the best interests of South Dakotans as their priority,' TenHaken said.
