BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) — Long-time Bakersfield City Councilman Ken Weir says he will not seek re-election for his Ward 3 seat.
Weir was elected in 2006 and is currently the longest-serving member on the council.
Before being elected to the city council, he served on numerous boards, including the Bakersfield City School District Board of Trustees, and was active in Republican politics.

In November, Weir acknowledged he had been undergoing cancer treatments.
